This is the last piece of open beach in Dubai. surely it must be kept as a public beach.

Please don't take away our beach. I'm not old enough to drive or take a taxi by myself but my brother and friends like to walk down and play and swim. It's the only great fun FREE outdoor pursuit we have!

The sea belongs to everybody. Why block it off to the general public? Not everybody can afford or even wants to join a hotel club for the privilege of visting a Dubai shoreline. The Dubai Marina is already cluttered with the slums of the future. Why make it worse?

Time has past but the beach still remain, helps us to preserve this beach as is the closest thing to paradise, beautiful romantic sunset and the view of the Only tallest 7-STAR Hotel.

Having lived in this country for 17 years, I have seen many things taken and given to the residents of Dubai and we have lived with it so far - but this event is too much, Dubai's coastline is symbolic of different cultures coming together to enjoy a common interest - having fun.

When do we realize that money and profits aren't everything. There's enough "new" beachfront in Dubai that some of the natural beauty should remain.

This is so unneccesary and unfair. We have all the hotels we need here in dubai,but very few places where we can see and feel the sea without traverling along way. This is a big and ugly mistake.!!!!

I have lived in dubai for 14 years and that the government is allowing them to take away the free beaches is not only bad for us, but that's why there is hardly (none) sealife and coral reef left in Dubai!! Think smart DUBAI...

Please save the beach. It is important to have somewhere to take the children to play. We also need to protect the environment. The beach is an area of outstanding beauty and is important for tourism. It is somewhere I take visitors to Dubai. There needs to be a limit to development!

This beach is so popular,it is always busy, from sunrise to sunset. A beautiful setting and one of the only places where it is possible to get some exercise and fresh air, and escape the construction and traffic. What does Dubai have to offer residents or tourists if there isn't any beach? Save our beach!

I am quite new to Dubai and was very supprised and dissappointed to find so little public beach and now what there is, is being developed. I belive this lack of thought will ultimately put overseas people off movingto Dubai and so investing in its future.

i want our beach safe from jumeirah hoyel marina to the location of the life saving gard structure, we urgently need our natural beach we did not build our house here to look at concrete blocks and a congestion of people. It is our haven, my grand mother 14 years ago she loved this beach with all my aunties and came from UK invest in Dubai at the condition that she finds a spot on thisa beach to put her residence... after the land was purchased, the house built facing the sea, she moved her business to dubai. what is left for her now Zabeeil project to admire? she is planing to run away...she did not come for a limpy beach similar to the beach in front of al raha hotel in abu dabi which is repursive..
