Named after its up-and-coming neighbourhood on the water, Dubai Islands Beach is emerging as the latest spot in the city for a refreshing dip and shoreside entertainment. Located off the coast of Dubai’s older hub – Deira – it is the city’s first fully pet-friendly beach, allowing owners to bring their dogs along for a scenic jog or swim.
To take in new perspectives of the city skyline while getting your fill of thrills on the waves, try the non-motorised watersports on offer – like the kayaking and paddleboarding sessions operated by Blue Safari. If you prefer to sweat it out on the sand, simply rally your crew for a friendly game of football or beach volleyball.
