JBR beach: A vibrant Lifestyle hub

Located in the heart of Dubai's Jumeirah Beach Residence, The Beach—also known as Marina Beach—pulses with the vibrant energy of a place that never seems to rest. From the early morning at 7 AM, it's a lively scene as both locals and tourists arrive, ready to embrace the bustling atmosphere. The Beach is a playground for adrenaline seekers and leisure lovers alike, offering everything from jet skiing to parasailing, and even a thrilling adventure at the world’s largest inflatable aqua park. For a unique local experience, camel rides are available, offering a delightful way to explore the sandy expanse. And for those looking to elevate their dining experience—literally—there’s always the Flying Cup, where you can enjoy your meal with a spectacular 360 panoramic view of Marina & JBR and also an aerial view of Ain Dubai.

A variety of shopping options

For those seeking a more laid-back experience, beach beds are available for hire, with prices ranging from AED 125 to AED 600, perfect for soaking up the sun in comfort. The Beach doesn't just cater to relaxation but also offers an engaging shopping experience with small kiosks and stalls featuring perfumes, real estate, and a variety of additional stores for men, women and kids. Noteworthy brands like Sephora, Adidas, Victoria's Secret, and Mothercare provide ample shopping opportunities for men, women, and kids. Salons for men, women along with henna stalls and a game zone for children, enhance the family-friendly atmosphere. Culinary options abound with a mix of restaurants along the beachfront and food trucks, plus dining at The Pavilion, ensuring that every taste is catered to. For the thrill-seekers, supercars are available for rent, adding a touch of luxury to the day. Additionally, with an ambulance on standby, safety is a top priority, ensuring peace of mind for all visitors. The beach also includes five washrooms and two showers to ensure you stay fresh throughout the day; showers are reasonably priced at AED 5 per 2 minutes.
