Quick answer
We have not been able to confirm whether dogs are allowed at Saraya Islands Beach. Treat this as unconfirmed until we can verify it directly.
The rules
Reports say dogs must be leashed, with no off-leash area. We have not independently confirmed it.
This is a public beach where dogs are accepted rather than formally invited, which is a different thing and worth being clear about. Local tolerance is what keeps it accessible: pick up after your dog, and do not let them approach families without asking.

Four things apply at every beach in this guide, not just this one. Under Federal Law No. 22 of 2016 several breeds are classed as dangerous animals nationwide, so check the UAE banned dog breeds list before you travel. The beach season runs October to April — outside it, go at sunrise or after sunset, and read up on hot sand and paw safety, because sand can burn paw pads within seconds. Press the back of your hand to the sand for five seconds: if you cannot hold it there, your dog cannot walk on it. Pack for the heat using the dog beach gear list, and assume a leash is mandatory unless this page says otherwise.
