Bluewaters · Dubai
Bluewaters Island is a dense mix of restaurants, cafes, and shops reachable by a pedestrian bridge from JBR or by ferry from Dubai Marina, with reviewers praising the night-time lighting, live music, and fireworks views. It is genuinely popular, which also means it gets very crowded, and the paid, ticketless parking system has drawn real frustration, including at least one case of a surprise extra charge. Several reviewers also found Ain Dubai, the island's giant wheel, closed during their visit.
