Al Bahr Beach Front, also known as Al Bahr Beach, is a private beach destination on the Umm Al Quwain Corniche in Al Haditha, close to the old town of Umm Al Quwain in the UAE. Opened in June 2025, it combines a calm stretch of sand on the Arabian Gulf, the seaside Al Bahr Café serving burgers, small bites, coffee, juices and desserts, and Loop Lounge, a ticketed private beach lounge with shaded seating and BBQ setups in the cooler months and sunloungers in summer. It is roughly 50 to 70 minutes by car from Dubai, which makes it an easy and relaxed day out for families, couples and friends who want a quiet beach away from the crowds.

What Is Al Bahr Beach Front?
Al Bahr Beach Front is a small, laid back beach destination on the Umm Al Quwain coastline. It opened in June 2025 and is designed for slow, easy beach days rather than loud beach club parties. The Al Bahr Beach website describes it as a private beach destination built around the shore, a beachside café, a private lounge and retail spaces for lease.
The setting is simple: a promenade with yellow flags, colourful outdoor benches, parasols and loungers facing the sea, and open air cabana style structures. Most visitors come to sit by the water, enjoy a coffee or a burger, watch the sunset and take a gentle swim in the Gulf.
Where Is Al Bahr Beach Front Located?
Al Bahr Beach Front is on the Umm Al Quwain Corniche in the Al Haditha area of Al Raas, on the old town peninsula of Umm Al Quwain city. The street address is Umm Al Quwain Corniche, Al Raas, Al Haditha, Umm Al Quwain, United Arab Emirates.
It is a short drive from other old town sights, including the Umm Al Quwain Museum inside the historic Al Ali Fort, and the boat trips that head out to Al Sinniyah Island and its mangroves.
Here is a rough guide to driving times in normal traffic:
| Starting point | Approximate distance | Approximate driving time |
|---|---|---|
| Dubai Marina | 100 km | 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes |
| Dubai International Airport | 60 km | 50 to 60 minutes |
| Sharjah city | 40 km | 35 to 45 minutes |
| Ajman | 25 km | 25 to 30 minutes |
| Ras Al Khaimah city | 70 km | 50 to 60 minutes |
| Abu Dhabi | 215 km | 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes |
Traffic on the E311 and E11 can add time on Friday evenings, weekends and public holidays, so plan a buffer if you travel then.
Things to Do at Al Bahr Beach Front
Relax on the Beach
The main draw is the calm shoreline. Spread out on the sand, walk along the water at sunset, read under a parasol or take a dip when the sea is calm. The vibe is quiet and family friendly, which suits visitors who find the big Dubai beaches too busy.
Eat and Drink at Al Bahr Café
Al Bahr Café is the white beachside kiosk with outdoor benches. The menu focuses on easy beach food: burgers, small bites, coffee, fresh juices and desserts. It is a good spot for breakfast by the sea, a shaded break in the afternoon or a coffee at sunset.
Book Loop Lounge
Loop Lounge is a private beachside lounge inside Al Bahr Beach, with access by ticket only. The experience changes by season: cooler months bring shaded seating and BBQ setups, while summer is all about sunlounging. Recent tickets shared on the official Al Bahr Beach Instagram have been AED 150 per adult, with children under 12 and pets free, and opening hours from 12 pm to 12 am. Beach chairs and umbrellas are limited and given on a first come, first served basis. It works well for birthdays, small group gatherings and team outings.
