Where to find Jumeirah Public Beach 2 and 3

Both beaches sit along Jumeirah Beach Road in Dubai. Beach 2 lies between Jumeirah Beach Park and the Madinat Jumeirah area. Beach 3 is a short walk further west. You can reach them by taxi, RTA bus, or by driving and using the free roadside parking.

Entry, parking, and facilities

Entry is free for everyone. Parking along the road is also free, though spaces fill quickly on weekends. Showers and changing rooms are available at both beaches. Public toilets are cleaned regularly by Dubai Municipality teams. Bring your own shade, as only a few palm trees offer natural cover.

Best times to visit

Arrive before 10 am on weekdays to secure parking and cooler sand. From November to March the water stays pleasant at 22 to 26 degrees. Summer months from June to September bring high heat and humidity, so early morning or late afternoon visits work best. Lifeguards are on duty daily from 8 am to 6 pm.

What to bring and safety tips

  • Reusable water bottle and light snacks
  • Sunscreen SPF 50 and a wide hat
  • Beach towel and portable umbrella
  • Small cash for nearby kiosks selling cold drinks

Keep valuables in a waterproof pouch. Strong rip currents can appear after storms, so stay inside the marked swimming zones. Children must be supervised at all times.

Nearby food and quick exits

Small cafes and juice stands line the opposite side of the road. For a larger meal, walk five minutes to Jumeirah Mosque or take a short taxi ride to Madinat Jumeirah souk. If you need to leave quickly, the nearest RTA bus stop is 200 metres from Beach 2.
