Kite Beach, situated in the Jumeirah area, is an expansive shoreline that extends from the fishing village to the yacht club.
This beach remains calm and doesn’t get too crowded. The main reason is that the beach is located far away from the city center (it isn’t as far away as Jebel Ali Beach, but it’s still quite a distance). Another reason is the prevailing strong winds in this area, which attract surfers and kiters.
During your visit, you’ll see colorful kites adorning the sky, and get a chance to witness the acrobatics performed by both novices and masters.
