Just strolling through the JBR area, you'll be reminded of Europe. It is among the busiest and liveliest neighbourhoods in the city, It's hard to believe that the area was once a quiet, sandy piece of coastline. Fast forward to 2021, and JBR is home to stunning beachside hotels, numerous residential towers and some of the city's most popular spots and attractions. It's a wonderful place to take a stroll down pedestrian strip The Walk or along The Beach, and really comes alive at night.
