Under-16s are advertised free with a guardian aged 21+, with at most two under-16s per guardian. The day pass lists a towel, bottled water and a beanbag subject to availability. Food, watersports, courts and gym charges are separate. Allow an ≈ QAR 80 per adult for a casual meal and drinks. For two adults from a central-Doha hotel, estimate ≈ QAR 430 altogether: admission ≈ QAR 180, food ≈ QAR 160 and the two car journeys ≈ QAR 90 per vehicle. West Bay hotel return cars: ≈ QAR 45 per vehicle; Pearl ≈ QAR 80; Lusail ≈ QAR 105. These transport and meal figures are estimates; larger vehicles and waiting cost extra.\n\n#### When to go\n\nThe current day-pass programme runs daily from 08:00 until sunset, with last entry at 16:15, through 31 December 2026. Evening dining access has different hours and does not extend the swimming window. Obtain the permitted swim times and dated admission terms with your booking.\n\nAllow 3–5 hours at the beach, plus changing and the hotel journeys.\n\n#### Getting there\n\nWest Bay waterfront, Doha Beach Club’s relocated venue\n\nUse the relocated Doha Beach Club entrance on the operator’s map, not an older B12 or Doha Sands-only pin. From West Bay hotels allow roughly 10–20 minutes by road; from Old Doha or Msheireb allow 20–35 minutes, and from Pearl/Lusail 20–40 minutes, before traffic delays. For a rail approach take the Red Line to DECC, then use a short licensed taxi to the current gate; the station is not on the beach. Friday trains start later, so an 08:00 beach arrival needs a road journey. Allow a further 10–15 minutes for admission and changing.\n\n[Get directions]()\n\n#### Before you book\n\nBook the dated Doha Beach Club pass before midnight on the preceding day; online same-day bookings are unavailable. Gate sales depend on capacity. Supply children’s ages and the number of guardians. Ask for the permitted swimwear, changing and toilet provision, shade availability and any accessibility arrangements. Doha Sands is reserved for hotel-membership guests; a general hotel booking does not itself establish admission. The published free-evening-entry times differ between tourism and operator pages, so do not use evening access as a free swimming pass.\n\n[Visit the venue or operator]()\n\n#### Your return journey\n\nLeave from the same beach-club road entrance, with the car pickup agreed before leaving the sand. Return directly to your West Bay, Pearl, Lusail or central-Doha hotel; if using rail, take the local car back to DECC and the Red Line towards your hotel’s connection. Old Doha and Al Sadd stays may need a change at Msheireb. Include both local car legs, rail fares and the last connection. Before a circuit visit, go back to the hotel to change and leave time for the separate Lusail journey; a beach ticket provides no F1 transfer.\n\n#### Accessibility\n\nArrange the paved drop-off, step-free admission, accessible toilet/changing provision and assistance before paying. Sand and water access need separate arrangements; a beanbag is low seating and may not suit transfers.
