Discover Dubai’s Beaches

Dubai’s coastline is a treasure trove of stunning beaches, each offering a unique experience. Discover the beach that matches your vibe among these diverse spots.

For the Adventurous Spirit

Kite Beach in Jumeirah is the go-to for thrill-seekers and active families. This vibrant, well-maintained beach offers a range of sports including kitesurfing, beach football, beach tennis, and volleyball. There’s also a skatepark and play areas for kids. When you need a break, head to Salt, a popular food truck-turned-beach-shack known for its delicious shakes and sliders. Pro tip: Kite Beach features a boardwalk extending into the sand and accessible restrooms, making it convenient for everyone.

For Surfing Enthusiasts

Sunset Beach is the perfect spot to catch some waves. Rent a surfboard or stand-up paddleboard (SUP) from Surf House Dubai and join the surfers enjoying Dubai’s biggest winter swells. This beach offers breathtaking views of the Burj Al Arab and a relaxed atmosphere with organic RAW coffee, yoga, workshops, rental boards, and even SUP meditation classes. The strong surfing community here fosters a vibe reminiscent of famous beach towns worldwide.

For a Family Getaway

Black Palace Beach, often referred to as Secret Beach, is a hidden gem on Al Sufouh Street. This public beach is a favorite among young families, thanks to its soft golden sands and gentle shores. Nestled between Dubai Media City and the royal summer palaces, it offers stunning views of Palm Jumeirah and is ideal for paddling and splashing in the winter sun. Find a spot on the rocks and enjoy a breathtaking sunset.

For Luxurious Leisure

The Beach at JBR combines pristine shores with top-tier shopping. This destination offers premium facilities, cafes, and play areas for kids. Those who prefer to stay sand-free can relax in beach cabanas or enjoy camel rides and an offshore waterpark that spells out ‘Dubai’. Nearby, Ain Dubai, the world’s largest observation wheel, on Bluewaters Island is just a short walk from JBR.

For Pet-Friendly Fun

Dubai Islands Beach is becoming a hotspot for those seeking a refreshing dip and shoreside entertainment. Located off the coast of Deira, it’s the city’s first fully pet-friendly beach, allowing you to bring your dogs for a scenic jog or swim. Enjoy the city skyline views while engaging in non-motorized watersports like kayaking and paddleboarding offered by Blue Safari. Or, organize a friendly football or beach volleyball match with your friends.

Additional Beach Destinations

For more seaside dining and picturesque views, visit Palm West Beach or enjoy a picnic close to the waves at Al Mamzar Beach Park. These spots offer additional opportunities to relax and enjoy Dubai’s beautiful coastline.
