The Palm Jumeirah Boardwalk will run the entire length of the island's 11km protective crescent. It is designed to transform the crescent into a destination for walking, shopping and dining, and create a new focus for the world-famous island. The project will cover the whole of the existing crescent and there will be a 100m pier stretching into the Arabian Gulf at both ends.
Nakheel will create The Boardwalk by building over the rocks of the Palm’s breakwater. The Boardwalk will be 6m wide – more than double the width of the existing crescent path – with more than 20 concessions offering refreshments and souvenirs along the 11km length.
The piers will offer views of the Arabian Gulf, Palm Jumeirah and the Dubai skyline and feature a range of glass-encased cafes and restaurants.
