December 4 2020 National day holiday. We decided to go to the mangroves. This place is now officially named as “The Mangrove Beach” and there is an entrance fee. The guy at the gate told us for 20 bucks you can spend the entire day inside. We paid up and we were in. I noticed goal posts, a play area for the kids, some people had put up tents and some had caravans. A good initiative by the government. I can feel this place is going to become popular. This is a recent development so there might be more changes to come. So we looked for a spot and parked between two Caravans. This place is an open ground surrounded by water. There is no shade to sit under so if you are planning to spend the entire day you would either need a beach umbrella or a tent. Anything to provide some shade. So we setup with tents, barbeque and all. Sometime later… and this is when things got interesting and not in a good way. A person approached us to inform us of a charge of 200 for placing tents on the ground. Since we were already setup we decided to pay. Guess what happens next. He tells us the spot is already booked so we have to move to another spot. It was inconvenient but we agreed to move and asked him for some time to pack up everything. I understand these things can happen. Few minutes later a black jeep approaches us. This guy looked angry, he was from the tourism department. He made some hand gestures from this car. I approached him and informed him that we are almost packed and should be ready to leave in a few minutes. This is how the dialog went. Official – This place is for camping only (said in a stern voice) Me – We were camping as well. Official – Did you register? (stern voice again.) Me – We were not informed at the gate. (He responded before I could finish.) Official – You should ask. (Very stern) Me – How will I know there is more? The guy at the gate only told us about the entrance ticket. (Again he did not wait for me to finish.) Official – You should ask. (Louder this time.) This went on for a while. His body language and tone of voice was clearly condescending. Before leaving he said I will see you at the gate. True to his word he made us wait there for 10 minutes before he opened the gate but that was not enough. He made us pull over and park on the side for another few minutes. Bottom line is make sure you ask for all the details at the gate as there were no sign boards or pricing and registration details mentioned anywhere as of 4th December 2020. This is an nice place to camp or hangout. Although Qudra Lake is much better and free. Let’s just hope no one gets to face this man (ever). That should vastly improve the experience. Peace.

This place is good picnic spot but many things you need to consider prior to making your plan. 1- Access is under construction & from the main road you need to go off road approximately 3kms towards right side. 2-Dhs 20 one car entrance fee. 3- kayak and water sport activities are chargeable 4-Camping is also chargeable 5- Barbecue allowed only in designated areas. 6- Special dedicated kids play area 7- No Toilets, shower or pray area. 8- No Restaurants

THIS MAP LOCATION DOESN'T TAKE YOU ANYWHERE. You will see a roundabout and the maps will tell you to turn left. Instead turn right on the roundabout when coming from the hospital and you will go down a hill on to a dirt track. I couldn't see this in the night and got lost. Travel down the path for maybe 5 minutes and you will reach the camp. There are some signs on the way to help guide you but as long as you stay on the path you will not get lost. Any car can travel on the path also. The entry is 20dh which is very cheap considering you get access to a shower and toilets. Staff are very friendly and clean the place lots of times per day. Amazing atmosphere at night and very relaxing and quiet in the morning/afternoon. Will definitely come here again.

Mangrove Beach in Umm Al Quwain is a beautiful natural spot in UAE. If you enjoy walking on a natural surface surrounded by nature, or if you enjoy bird-watching, this is a place for you. You can walk, cycle or drive the full length of the mangrove forest (around 9 km) At either end of the forest, there are small beaches to sit and admire the view, watch out for local or migrating birds or just enjoy the peace away from city life. It’s a stop off point for many migrating birds. Search for "Mangrove Beach Umm al Quwain" in #googlemaps and it will show you pointers. You can drive towards right for around 3km and you will reach a spot from where you can enter the waters. This is a nice little photography spots where you can get some cool clicks! You can access using small sedan cars as well. No restaurants, toilets etc!. Nb: Do check my youtube channel for the location visuals

Relaxing getaway on weekends. You can stay there overnight and can do crabbing when its low tide. There is an area for bbq, there are cottages, you can camp too. Its safe coz its a gated area. There are mangroves too which add the serenity of the place. You can do kayaking. I loved the place and its refreshing being close to nature.

This place is a beautiful natural spot in the Emirate of Umm Al Quwain. The entry to the place is a bit off-road, but still possible to reach by small car. However, 4x4 is better if one would like to explore more. Better to go during high tide, if one would like to enjoy within the mangrove area. At the end of the mangrove, a private picnic area is available. The entry fee per car is 20 AED. Camping, BBQ, Boating and other water activities are available at extra cost.

One of the best places in UAE, amazing wildlife, excellent kayaking, super new restaurant and board walk among the mangroves

Its peaceful beach but u can't do swimming but for the peace of mind you can go there and have bbq and lunch with family.

Very nice beach 🏖… full of mangrove Their are lots of crab, wild, birds 🦅 and fish 🐠 This place is to interact with nature BEST PLACE FOR WINTER and BBQ lovers The road leading to the beach is not a proper road not suggested for saloon cars during rain 🌧 Must to visit - they charge 20 AED per cars which is not expensive for their maintenance

Visited here before the development of the beach. Very calm and quiet. Right now they collect fee for each vehicle entering the beach. Roads are still unpaved but no issues for sedan.

Really great and safe place for camping. Well maintained and reasonably priced. AED 100 for overnight camping, AED 20 if you only want to spend time at the beach and return home. Went with the kids, and they had so much fun. You bring your own camping gear, find a spot, and you are set! No hustle at all. I really recommend this place.

It is beautiful place for hangout with family. Here you can find a quiet place and calm to relax and watch the sea and also swim. For BBQ I always preferred this palace. The Mangrove beach Umm Al Quwain 🇦🇪

Highly recommended. Good for relaxing and the place is aesthetic. Very accommodating and nice kabayan staffs. Restroom is clean and parking is convenient. A must visit.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful place .... nice outlet and quiet. (Original) مكان رائع....متنفس جميل وهدوء.

Because of the mis information of the ENTRANCE STAFF we got nearly fined 1000 aed. UAQ MUNICIPALITY DOES NOT ALLOW TO DO CRABBING IN MANGROOVE BEACH. The entrance staff informed us that crabbing is one of the activities that we can do inside mangoove beach but we were put into a humilliating situation because of the false information at your website and the insufficient/unawareness of your front staff on all rules and regulations changes. Please give proper information because the excitement of us got ruined and the experience went so terribly bad. Our flashlights, cooler container got confiscated. We became law breaker because of the negligence of your staff

Great scenery overlooking the Umm Al Quwain mangroves

Nice beach but crowded and no facilities and no proper road to reach your distance

Nature friendly beach 🥰

Beautiful place for relaxing and birdwatching. I've seen larks, laughing doves, and a couple of other birds that I couldn't recognize. It is very clean compared to other beaches around. However, this is not a beach for swimming. Fishing is banned here as well.

Amaizing views and great for picnic and camping

Around 55 min from Dubai. A 7 min dirt track brings you to the entrance. 20 aed per car to enter. There is a open beach, there are bbq pits and families can spend the day relaxing, kayaking facilities available .

No supermarkets or grocery nearby . The mangroves were beautiful . The beach is not for swimming. No lifeguards as of now.
