Where is Mangrove Beach Umm Al Quwain?
Mangrove Beach sits on the shore of Khor Al Yeefrah on the outskirts of Umm Al Quwain city. It looks across the water to Al Sinniyah Island, one of the oldest islands in the UAE and an important home for migratory birds. Learn more about the island in our guide to Isla ng Al Sinniyah.
The beach opened in late 2020 and quickly became one of the most loved nature spots in the northern emirates. Khaleej Times reported that the Umm Al Quwain Department of Tourism and Archaeology sees the beach as part of its plan to promote environmental tourism and family destinations.
How to get to Mangrove Beach from Dubai
The easiest way is by car. From Dubai, drive north on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) or Emirates Road (E611) towards Umm Al Quwain. The trip is about 70 km and usually takes 55 to 70 minutes depending on traffic. Set your map app to Mangrove Beach Umm Al Quwain.

Things to do at Mangrove Beach Umm Al Quwain
Kayaking and paddleboarding in the mangroves
Paddling through the calm green channels is the main highlight. Single and double kayaks and paddleboards let you get close to the mangrove roots, small fish, crabs and wading birds. The water is calm and shallow, so it suits beginners and families with older children.
Swimming and relaxing on the sand
The beach has soft white sand and clear, shallow water. Swim in open areas away from the mangrove roots and only during daylight. Shaded huts, thatched parasols, wooden swings and hammocks make it easy to relax for the whole day.
Camping and barbecue
Overnight camping is one of the most popular reasons to visit. Pitch your tent in the camping zone and use the designated barbecue areas. Bring your own tent, bedding, lights and a cooler, as the beach provides the space rather than the equipment.
Bird watching and photography
The mangroves and nearby Al Sinniyah Island attract herons, cormorants and many migratory birds, especially in winter. Early morning and sunset give the best light, and the long wooden walkway that stretches out over the water is a favourite photo spot.
Horse riding and other activities
Stables near the beach have offered horse rides and even swimming with horses. You may also find beach volleyball, a padel court, and cycling and jogging tracks. Activities depend on the season and operator, so ask our team on WhatsApp at +971 4 220 2133 what is running before you go.
