As well as being dog-friendly it offers beach volleyball and beach football, with developers saying water sports opportunities, including paddleboarding, kayaking, and other activities, will be offered in partnership with Blue Safari.
Dining outlets and additional activities are planned by the end of the year.
Accessible by road and water transportation, boat and yacht owners can opt to anchor their vessels at the nearby Nakheel Marina Dubai Islands and disembark to visit the new dog-friendly beach .
