A lifestyle destination where the city meets the sea.

Bringing a mix of cultures together where the land meets the sea, the Beach at JBR is a model of sophisticated accessibility. The first to offer public facilities on this busy stretch of public beach, the development seamlessly brings connection between the beach and urban life. A promenade winds past dining terraces and focal points including a grassy beachside amphitheatre and entertainment options, offering dedicated pathways for strolling and exercise. Working alongside architects Benoy, Cracknell established a soft contemporary landscape design language with a focus on accessibility. Millions of unique paving tiles are individually laid to create pixelated waves leading from the urban environment to the sand.

Olive trees rising from reflective pools mark signature elements of transitional spaces, and a grand, programmable plaza features events and popup retail and entertainment offerings
