Is it safe to swim at UAE hotel beaches when there are sea urchins and shells in the water?

A recent guest report says sea conditions can be unpredictable: the water may look very different from one day to the next. Check conditions from the shore before swimming.

If daily swimming is a priority, plan to use the hotel pools as a backup. Guests recommend them on days when the sea looks unpleasant or access to the water is uncomfortable.

Sea urchins and shells were reported in the water and near the shoreline. Bring water shoes and avoid walking barefoot on the seabed, especially where visibility is poor.
