Al Sufouh Beach – Black Palace Serenity in 2025

If you’re looking to escape the crowds and experience the untouched charm of Dubai’s coastline, Al Sufouh Beach —

often called Black Palace Beach — is your perfect hideaway in 2025.

Tucked between the iconic Burj Al Arab and Palm Jumeirah, this secluded spot is not widely known to tourists, making it one of the last true secret beaches in Dubai.

2. No Commercial Development

There are no restaurants, shops, or vendors directly on the beach — and that’s the beauty of it. It’s raw, natural, and allows you to connect with nature in a way most Dubai beaches can’t. 3. Perfect for Photography
