The Jumeirah Public Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Dubai, which is known for its sparkling white sand and the beautiful coastline that stretches along the Persian Gulf. The literal meaning of the word ‘Jumeirah’ is ‘beautiful’, and thus, Jumeirah refers to the natural beauty this beach has. In this blog, we will discuss some of the things about planning your day at Jumeirah Beach in Dubai.
Is Jumeirah Beach and JBR The Same?
When someone says Jumeirah Public Beach or Jumeirah Beach, they are referring to the entire, long coastal stretch in Dubai. This coastal area stretches from Pearl Jumeirah to Dubai Marina. At Jumeirah Beach, you can enjoy calm waters, a nice picnic, and thrilling water sports.
However, when someone says JBR (or Jumeirah Beach Residence), they are calling out to a particular residential and tourist district located in one section of that coast. To be specific, it is a 1.7 km waterfront community that has 40+ residential towers and commercial locations as well.
You can say that JBR is a high-density location, with urban “beach city” vibes that have many shops and restaurants. At JBR, you can chill with friends or go shopping. It’s ideal for dining right by the sand and nightlife, also.
