A new beach has opened in Dubai where your pooch can join you in the waves. According to Nakheel, Dubai Islands Beach is the first “family-friendly” beach in the UAE that allows dogs to swim.

The seaside resort on Dubai’s northern coastline is now open from sunrise to sunset.

“Dubai Islands Beach is poised to become a premier destination for water sports and beach sports enthusiasts, with Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai and RIU Dubai just a short walk away,” said Nakheel.

Visitors can play beach volleyball and football. They “soon also have plenty of water sports opportunities, including paddle boarding, kayaking and other activities, which will be offered in partnership with Blue Safari”.

By the end of the year, the beach destination will be fully operational with a dining concept and more activities.

The destination can be reached by road and waterway transportation. Boat and yacht owners have the option of mooring their vessels at the nearby Nakheel Marina Dubai Islands.
