Public transport and the last mile
Do not assume a Metro station on the sand. For Kalba Beach in Kalba, use the live transport box on this page. Summer last-miles over 15 minutes belong in a taxi. Sharjah is a short taxi or intercity bus from Dubai’s Al Nahda / Centrepoint edge. Alcohol rules are stricter than Dubai; dress modestly away from hotel beaches.
