The 'Walking Board' refers to a specific rubberized running and walking path installed along the coastline to reduce impact on joints.
The water depth increases gradually, making it a preferred location for casual swimmers and families.
The beach is part of a larger, continuous stretch of public coastline development spanning several kilometers in Jumeirah.
The location provides a clear, unobstructed line of sight toward the Burj Al Arab from the southern end of the beach path.
Jumeirah Public Beach 02, locally known for its prominent walking board and boardwalk, provides direct access to a wide sandy shoreline along the Persian Gulf. The site features a dedicated rubberized jogging track that runs parallel to the water, separating the sandy beach from the adjacent coastal road. Facilities include public changing rooms, shower areas, and beach-side food kiosks. The beach is a popular spot for both swimming and viewing the Dubai skyline. The shoreline is monitored by lifeguards stationed at regular intervals. It remains one of the most accessible free public beach stretches in central Jumeirah.

Bring your own umbrella or sunshade as natural shade on the sand is extremely limited.
Wear water shoes if you prefer, though the sand is generally fine-grained and clean.
Arrive early in the morning to secure a parking spot closest to the beach entrances.
Visiting during the peak heat of midday in summer months, as sand temperatures can cause burns.
Modest swimwear is expected when walking away from the water; public displays of affection should be kept minimal.
