Jebel Ali Beach is located at the base of the second, unfinished Palm Island, which has been vacant for over 10 years. I’m including this spot in the list because it’s my favorite kiteboarding spot, where I often go, and there’s something to say about the beach.
The beach is divided into several sections. A small part is designated for kite surfers, as it’s a very popular kiteboarding location. The second section is a public beach, and further along is the JA The Resort hotel area.
The location is in the middle of an industrial zone, far from Dubai’s residential areas. As a result, the horizon features views of port cranes and other industrial structures. However, if you’re tired of the crowded city beaches of Dubai, this spot offers a quiet escape.
In the public area, you’ll find scenic swings, benches, and a decorative “heart” near Maddy Café. The beach itself is wide with soft, pleasant sand. The water has a gradual entry, and there are very few waves because the unfinished Palm Island is a natural barrier, which is a significant advantage on windy days.
