Dubai’s first-ever dog-friendly beach is now open

The Dubai Islands Beach is the perfect spot for a family-friendly beach day.

Hey there beach lovers. A new public beach has just opened in Dubai, and it’s nothing short of a dreamy paradise. Dubai Islands Beach, located near Port Rashid, is the ideal place for a family-friendly beach day. And the best part? It’s free to access and open 24/7, meaning you can enjoy the crystal-clear waters until your heart’s content, whether you’re an early bird or a night owl. 

This beach is not only a great place to catch a few tan lines but it also offers a variety of outdoor activities and facilities that will make your day even more memorable. Play beach volleyball or football, or even take a paddleboard or kayak out on the water. And for water sports enthusiasts, Blue Safari offers a range of non-motorised water activities to get your adrenaline pumping.

But wait, there’s more. Dubai Islands Beach is also pet-friendly, meaning your four-legged companions can frolic, play and swim in the ocean to their heart’s desire. It’s one of the only spots in the city where dogs can swim in Dubai’s crystal-clear waters. Isn’t that paw-some?

If you’re feeling peckish after all the fun in the sun, fully operational F&B concepts will be making their way to the beach by the end of the year. And they’re also pet-friendly, so your furry friend never has to leave your side.

So how do you get there? Access to Dubai Islands Beach is easy, with both road and water transportation options available. If you own a boat, you can even dock it at the Nakheel Marina Dubai Islands and make your way to the shore.

What are you waiting for? Grab your beach bag, sunscreen, and furry friend and head down to Dubai Islands Beach to seas the day.
