Imagine sinking into a giant beanbag right on the sand, feeling the sea breeze, watching the sunset paint the sky, and enjoying your favorite shisha and drinks without any worries. That’s the everyday vibe at Smoky Beach. It’s one of Dubai’s most popular spots for relaxing and enjoying the city’s beautiful coastline.
Smoky Beach isn’t a formal restaurant with white tablecloths. Instead, it’s a famous beach lounge and shisha spot. You’ll find a relaxed, open-air space by the sea, with cozy seating and a simple menu of drinks, snacks, and light bites made to match the chilled atmosphere.
You’ll find Smoky Beach at The Beach, JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residence) in Dubai, a well-known and easy-to-spot location. It’s the go-to place for anyone looking for this kind of laid-back beach experience.
In this guide, I’ll take you on a virtual visit to Smoky Beach. We’ll check out their menu (including prices in the UAE!), explore the unique vibe, talk about what the experience feels like, cover practical details, and explain why locals and tourists both love this spot.
A Short History
Smoky Beach opened as part of the lively development at The Beach, JBR. The idea was simple and clear: create a comfortable, stylish beachfront place where people could enjoy shisha, drinks, and casual food in a relaxed lounge setting.
It quickly met the demand for open-air, laid-back spots right by the water. Smoky Beach became the top choice in Dubai for anyone wanting to relax by the sea with good vibes.
It doesn’t have a complex food story but focuses on perfecting the beachside chill experience.
Ambiance and Dining Experience




The atmosphere is the biggest draw at Smoky Beach. It offers casual comfort right on the soft sand.
Forget traditional tables and chairs. Smoky Beach uses comfy low seating with large beanbags and cushioned pallets placed right on the beach sand. The decor is simple and natural, letting the beautiful surroundings stand out. As evening comes, soft lighting creates a warm, relaxed glow. You’ll hear the gentle waves mixed with chill-out music playing quietly in the background. The view of the Ain Dubai Ferris wheel and the sparkling JBR skyline adds a stunning backdrop.
The staff work efficiently and are friendly, fitting the busy, casual vibe. They walk across the sand to take orders and bring your food and drinks right to your seat. It’s not formal but makes sure you have everything you need to relax.
The dining experience feels very relaxed and social. It’s like hanging out at a cool beach party with cozy seats. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, talk with friends, and enjoy the beach, the view, and the shisha without any fuss. The place is lively but calm and easygoing.

My Experience
Smoky Beach is my favorite place to fully relax by the sea without leaving the city. On my last visit, we came in the evening, grabbed some comfy beanbags right near the water, and instantly felt the stress of the day melt away.
We tried a couple of their signature mocktails — one was bright and refreshing, just what I needed. We also ordered fries, which were hot, crispy, and a perfect easy snack. Of course, we got the classic Double Apple shisha. The shisha stayed smooth and tasty the whole time, and the staff managed the coals perfectly.
The peaceful vibe made the experience special. Feeling the sand between my toes, hearing the gentle waves, and watching the Ain Dubai lights sparkle was truly relaxing. The service was quick and friendly, even with the staff moving across the sand to bring us our order.
What impressed me most was how simple it all felt. No need to dress up—just show up, find a spot, and let the beach mood take over. It’s the perfect place to unwind.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are some common questions answered:
Do I need a reservation?
Smoky Beach mainly works on a walk-in basis for general seating like the beanbags. It gets busy in the evenings and on weekends, so arriving early or being ready to wait a little helps. They may take reservations for larger groups or special VIP areas if available.
Does Smoky Beach cater to dietary restrictions?
The food menu is simple and limited. They can tell you what’s in the dishes, but making big changes for special diets might be hard since it’s not a full restaurant. It’s best to check the menu when you arrive and pick what suits you.
Is parking available?
Yes, you can park at The Beach, JBR, with paid underground parking. Parking costs can add up and spots fill up quickly. Using taxis, ride-shares, or public transport like the Dubai Metro (to DMCC or Sobha Realty stations, then tram or walk) is a good idea.
What should I wear?
The dress code is very casual — it’s a beach lounge! Beachwear works well during the day. In the evening, people usually wear casual beach or resort clothes. Since you’ll likely sit on the sand, wear comfy shoes or be ready to go barefoot.
Is Smoky Beach kid-friendly?
Yes, kids are welcome during the day and early evening. The sandy beach is fun for families. But because the place focuses on shisha, it feels more adult-oriented later at night.
Final Thoughts
Smoky Beach gives you the true Dubai vibe: relaxed, stylish, and right by the beautiful coast. The menu prices might seem a bit high for casual snacks, but you’re paying for the amazing location, cozy seating, and top-quality shisha.
If you want to unwind, enjoy tasty shisha and drinks, watch the sunset, and feel the sand between your toes with friends, Smoky Beach at JBR is the perfect spot. It’s the best place to relax and enjoy the beach atmosphere.
