The Corniche is one of the best parts of Abu Dhabi, a beautiful stretch of white sandy beaches. It has been substantially redeveloped, with activities nearby, including Abu Dhabi Formula One.   Al Mina Port is on one end, and Emirates Palace and Marina Mall on the other, so it's a hugely popular place on the weekends.   You'll find family beaches, showers and washrooms, restaurants, boardwalks and lots of cafes.   As with any high-demand suburb in Abu Dhabi, living near The Corniche inevitably is more expensive than less popular areas. However, over the last few years, the skyrocketing rental prices have stabilised.   It's also worth considering your commute, as while living costs are sometimes cheaper further out, a 90-minute commute twice a day down the Sheikh Zayed Road might not be worth the lower monthly outgoings.
