A new stretch of promenade beachfront sprinkled with cafes and restaurants has officially opened at Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah.

West Beach by Nakheel Malls is a walkable waterfront destination spanning 1.6 kilometres. The promenade is lined with more than 300 illuminated palm trees and fountains.

The beach looks out across to the towering Marina skyline, and will offer families a range of water sport activities including kayaking and VR diving, as well as quiet spots to relax during the day. Also onsite will be beach buggies to help families get around, as well as covered parking facilities with more than 500 spaces.

Palm West Beach is also pet friendly.

The spot is home to a number of new beachfront restaurants and cafes, including Bali-inspired Koko Bay, and the upcoming Jones The Grocer, Aprons and Hammers, Lucky Fish, Señor Pico, and Orange Chameleon, among others.

Palm West Beach will also include eight 5-star Hotels: Fairmont The Palm, Five Palm Jumeirah, Soho Palm Jumeirah, Adagio Aparthotels, Byblos, Hilton Palm Jumeirah, and One Palm.
