Beach
Getting to Black Palace Beach by metro is convenient, though you'll need comfortable shoes for the walk. Here's how:
Board the Red Line
Look for trains heading towards Sobha Realty. Check the display boards for confirmation.
Get off at Sobha Realty
The station is well-marked. Use the main exit towards the street level.
Head to Black Palace Beach
About 20 minutes on foot. Save the Google Maps directions before you start.
Prefer not to walk? Auto-rickshaws and cabs are available right outside Sobha Realty station. Negotiate the fare before you hop in, or use Uber/Ola for fixed pricing.
This unofficial beach remained largely unknown until social media made it popular in the mid-2010s as Dubai's best-kept secret.
Sobha Realty metro station is the closest to Black Palace Beach, though you'll want to factor in the 20-minute walk (or grab an auto). It's not the shortest commute, but the metro still beats sitting in Dubai traffic.
While you're in the area, consider checking out Palm Jumeirah and Souk Madinat Jumeirah – they're near the same metro station and can easily be combined into a single trip.
Did you know? Also known as 'Secret Beach' or 'Al Sufouh Beach', this is one of the few remaining undeveloped stretches of coastline in Dubai.
