Black palace beach, Sand beach in Al Sufouh, Dubai.
Black Palace Beach is a sand beach on the Arabian Gulf featuring soft sand and distant views of Burj Al Arab. The shoreline extends with gentle sloping banks that lead into the water.
The beach was originally known for questionable activities but was later transformed into a regulated family destination with safety measures in place. This shift reflects Dubai's broader development into a modern family city.
The beach serves as a social gathering place for Dubai residents, especially during New Year's celebrations when crowds come to watch fireworks together. This role has made it a focal point where the city comes together.
The shoreline is very shallow, making it suitable for beginners and families, and entry is free with no entry requirements. Visitors should bring supplies since food and facilities are not available on the beach.
The water remains calm and clear throughout the year, making it one of the few places with consistently good swimming conditions. This consistency is ideal for repeat visits.
