Dubai welcomes a dreamy new dog-friendly public beach

Say hello to Dubai Islands Beach…

Beach dwellers are in luck, as a new patch of pristine shoreline and crystal clear waters has opened to the public on Dubai Islands.

The new, free-to-access, public beach is open from sunrise to sunset and is located on Dubai’s northern shoreline past Port Rashid, just a hop, skip, and jump from Centara Mirage Beach Resort and Hotel Riu Dubai.

It welcomes family, friends, and your four-legged companions to splish and splash to your hearts’ content.

Here is the exact location of Dubai Islands Beach: 

Plenty of things to do…

Not only is this another perfect place to score a few tan lines but there are also plenty of outdoor activities and facilities to make for the perfect day.  Beachgoers can play beach volleyball or football, as well as get out into the water on a paddleboard or a kayak. Water sports enthusiasts can participate in a variety of non-motorised water activities with Blue Safari.

Your pets will be able to frolic, play and swim in the ocean to their heart’s desire, making this beach one of the only spots in the city where dogs can swim in Dubai’s crystal-clear waters. Bliss.
