A public beach promotes a feeling of community and welcomes visitors of all nationalities. All European and tourist countries have free beaches alongside hotel beaches.
#937

Luke McGreevy said 03/25/07, 6:36 am (verified)
If the govenment is to continue attracting Expats to Dubai it is vital that the general public should have access to the beaches which are in close proximity to the city. I think we are all agreed that Dubai has quite enough "proposed" developments underway and the beaches and villas off of Jum beach road are a reflection what small "Heritage" Dubai has left. Additionally, now that "Beach clubs" are full and hotels have resticted entry there are very few beaches left for the general public.
#936

Jen Gorman said 03/25/07, 6:36 am (verified)
isn't this being a little bit too greedy! If they do go through with the development we should bouycote whatever takes our beaches place. this is not good for the surfering community!!!!

7 years in Dubai now, and I've seen a dozen free beaches get swallowed up in favor of "exclusive" property development but there has to be something that preserves the natural beauty of the coastline left for the general public that doesn't involve driving half way to Abu Dhabi

If you take away the public beaches you will ruin Dubai. Those of us who are not bizillionaires are getting hit from all sides - soaring rents, lack of school places, crazy traffic, and now no place to go and relax on our day off. Please don't do this. Dubai has enough "mixed use commercial and residential facilities". Save this one for the "little guy".
