Beaches in Dubai Marina

Dubai Marina is an affluent residential neighbourhood known for The Beach at JBR, a leisure complex with alfresco dining and sandy stretches to relax on. Smart cafes and pop-up craft markets line waterside promenade Dubai Marina Walk, while Dubai Marina Mall is packed with chain and luxury fashion brands. Upscale yachts cruise through the large man-made marina, where activities range from jet-skiing to skydiving.

As far as locations go, there's no denying the pull of Dubai Marina. Skyscrapers are poised alongside the winding canal, where luxury yachts patiently wait for their next outing. The area – which extends from Al Sufouh Road and comprises Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) – has forged itself as one of the city's busiest neighbourhoods. Naturally, there's plenty to do but here are some highlights to help you get started.
