geeminds EATS, PLACES AND WHAT-HAVE-YOUS After The Walk comes The Beach 2 I was ecstatic to learn that a new ‘go to’ place has opened. And it is a 10-minute drive from home. Jumeirah Beach Residence has what you call The Walk, a strip of restaurants and shops. It is a long stretch of good eats and good finds. After a few years of non-stop construction that brought a lot of hassles to the residents and to the visitors of The Walk, The Beach has finally opened. And it is a few levels up from The Walk. The Beach is the IT destination. It reminds me of the Santa Cruz Boardwalk in the US minus the rides and the seals. Likes Beach is open for everyone… For FREE! No curfews (so night swimming is allowed). If you’re a beach bum, this is your place. Beach water park in the middle of the sea (you gotta swim first to enjoy its facilities) You’ll feel the energy, the vibe! Music. Entertainment. Food. They have a lot of activities to offer. Outdoor Cinema with beanbags on the sand Selfie booths (coolest!) ‘People Watching’ (yup, another form of entertainment… Check out the people’s latest fashion) Cinemas by Reel Cinemas… 10 huge ones but normally viewing time starts at 1pm Different cuisines so you have a wide range to choose from. Some restos are open for breakfast Baby changing rooms which are awesome for mommies like me Wide Parking lot Fountain show that starts at 7pm (they use laser lights which are cool) at the La Piazza Dislikes Heavy traffic due to ongoing construction of the tram Parking costs Dhs20/hr ($5.50/hr) Food is expensive (most restos are upscale so better be prepared) Check out the photos and you’ll know why there’s so much hype. From Indoor cinemas to outdoor ones, various prominent restaurants to beach park…. You’ll definitely fall in love with this place. Share this: TwitterFacebook Loading...

Glad it’s finally opened now! Thanks for stopping at mine Like Reply ilonagee NOVEMBER 2, 2014 AT 11:45 AM Yup, it has opened but there are a lot of ongoing constructions. The tram will definitely bring in more visitors to The Beach. And it is a good thing because it will be accessible to everyone Like Reply Leave a Reply Post navigation ← Oven baked Oxtail Stew A 9/11 photo returned after 13 years → Search RECENT POSTS How to handle yourself when difficult people are in your midst Yummy Buttered Chicken A day before I say hello to a new age A Doctor with Terminal Cancer Writes to His Baby Daughter “He Has Aspergers” and Everything Else I Never Wanted To Hear About My Son RECENT COMMENTS ilonagee on Oreo Cheesecake Cookies tastehitch on Oreo Cheesecake Cookies ilonagee on Adventure Time at Sandy Beach… JDo on Adventure Time at Sandy Beach… ilonagee on After The Walk comes The … ARCHIVES February 2018 June 2015 April 2015 March 2015 November 2014 October 2014 September 2014 August 2014 July 2014 CATEGORIES Food Homecooking Places Reblog Restaurant Thoughts Travel Uncategorized Work Life META Register Log in Entries feed Comments feed WordPress.com Blog at WordPress.com.
