As part of our commitment to the continual improvement of Community Life facilities and services, South Beach is getting an upgrade! Starting from Monday, December 20, we will be replacing the sand to provide an even better beach experience. Over the next few weeks, South Beach will undergo temporary changes so beach users can still enjoy the facility during the re-sanding process. Please see the changes listed below:
South Beach mini beach
To help keep the beach and activities open during this time, we’ve created a mini beach where you will have the access to the swimming area as well as wet inflatables, relaxing loungers, and watersports such as pedalos, kayaks, windsurfs, and paddleboards.

South Beach operating times
Due to the maintenance work, we are canceling the ladies-only Mondays during the maintenance period. We will host a ladies-only event on Friday, January 7 from 9:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M.. The beach operating hours will remain the same, with Mondays open to all beach users.
Watersport activities in the Canal, IRC, and KAM park
For some different top-notch Red Sea experiences, why not try the snorkeling sessions or watersports on the canal. We put these on specifically to support the beach re-sanding, so it’s the perfect time to enjoy these exciting activities!
Other beaches to try out
Here are a few other ways to enjoy our Red Sea coast:
We are taking a continual phased approach to enhancing your South Beach experience. Our goal is to keep South Beach open as much as possible during the maintenance period, and we’ll keep you posted of all the latest developments on the South Beach information page.
