Experts have ranked JBR Beach among the best 10 beaches in the world as part of a global ranking. On the Golden Beach Award 2024 list of the top 100 beaches, the Dubai beach comes in at number eight between Glass Beach in California and Skeleton Coast in Namibia.
Because JBR Beach is located across the water from the bustling city center, it combines beach leisure with city energy, earning it a top ranking from beachatlas.com. With its golden sands and crystal-clear water, JBR has an impeccable aesthetic. There are plenty of activities available, such as water sports and camel rides.
The Walk was described by Beachatlas as a bustling promenade with stores, eateries, and street performers. The beach experts analyze six distinct sets of criteria while compiling their list, going beyond aesthetics and positive feelings. They consider each destination's picture-perfect beauty, but they also consider whether it serves as a gathering place for the locals, a party spot, whether visitors are made to feel at home, whether it has left a cultural legacy, and whether it has stunning natural surroundings.
Influencers and travel professionals who have firsthand experience sifting through the 100 beaches on the shortlist determine the final rating.
