Thanks for organising an online campaign protest - I couldn't believe it when they mentioned the closure. Please Please do not close that area...its a fantastic, clean beautiful beach which isn't destroyed by tourists. Please build property coastline developments elsewhere - this area brings lots of expats from abroad to enjoy the sun,clean beach and the fantastic view ...for free!! Thats why nature is there..to enjoy it, not destroy it!! A very furious Jumeirah beach lover..

Please leave the beach open for us all to enjoy. It's one of the best places to take guests when they come out to visit.

A sea city without any more public access to the sea...Very weird, even more when the government is trying to preserve traditions and heritage which are here very related to the sea life.

I remember the beauty of this coastline from when I worked here in the early 1970's. Don't take the last bits of it away! - - - - - - Please leave somewhere that can be enjoyed by the ordinary people who are helping to build the fabulous new Dubai that you want.

People will stop coming to Dubai to live if there are no public areas. It's just not how you build a successful city. Imagine if the US government where so short sighted that they built a condo development on Central Park?

Who will come to Dubai when the beach road will be a closed wall of private resorts? By giving away the last bits of accessible natural shore, not only Dubai will loose its appeal for many of us, but it will also show the worst example of environement policy for the next generation

Not everyone can afford expensive beach clubs... and a lot of people don't even like beach clubs! An unspoilt, natural beach for relaxing walks is important. Take this away from us, and it's another step towards going crazy in this hectic city!
