The full list of the beaches with links to their locations was shared by the Ministry on its Twitter handle. Under the renovation project, the beaches will be provided with walkways, shades of various artistic designs, permanent toilets, kiosks, barbeque areas, play areas for children, and volleyball & football grounds. 

There will be walkways designed especially for people with special needs to give them space and access to the sea. The beaches are all powered by solar energy to lighten up the areas.

Safety measures are also taken into consideration through instructions set by the Ministry of Municipality to keep the visitors protected. No lighting fires are allowed on the sand to protect nature and the environment.

The Ministry also advised visitors to not bury charcoal ash in the sand and to maintain hygiene by throwing waste in the garbage containers designed for this. In addition, visitors are urged to wear lifeguard jackets while swimming in the sea to be safe.
