Dubai's artificial beach: the 4×4 Beach
4×4 Beach is a secluded spot where you can have a wonderful picnic with the family. There are no restaurants or toilets on site. So I advise you to take all necessary precautions before relaxing here. The great advantage of this beach is thatit's free.
This immense stretch of sand stretches from the road to the shore, and the arches in the bay offer a magnificent view. Look to the left and you'll even see the Burj Al Arab in the distance.
Reachable by car, this beach is located between Al Athar Road and Jumeirah Beach Road.
Al Mamzar Park
Pearly sands and clear blue waters are just some of the features at the Dubai-Sharjah border. It's a trip I particularly recommend if you want to enjoy the beauty of the area. Once you arrive, you'll find not one, but four beaches, wide open spaces, bike paths, a swimming pool, multiple barbecue areas and a skate park.
There are also a multitude of cafés and kiosks. to stock up on essentials for the day. The main water activity here is snorkeling.
The place is open:
- from Sunday to Wednesday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
- From Thursday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Finally, there's a 5 dirham entrance fee.
Dubai's artificial beach: Al Sufouh beach
This beautiful beach with many names is a favorite among Dubai residents. It's the place to be when you want to escape the crowds and feel like you've stepped off the beaten track, but want to do so without sacrificing the view of the Burj Al Arab. This secret beach has no restaurants or mini-markets for shopping. I therefore recommendtake a bottle of water with you to avoid dehydration.
To get here, all you have to do is turn right after the bus stop on Al Sufouh Road, about 500 m from Dubai Media City.
La Mer
If sparkling blue seas, white sands, palm-fringed paths, quaint beach huts, street art and twinkling strings of lights appeal to you, I suggest you visit La Mer.
This destination is perfect for shopping and dining. This trendy coastal spot is home to fast food restaurants, ice cream trucks, upscale eateries, a retro cinema, an inflatable playground and a water park. The place perfect for relaxing in Dubai.
Dubai's Sunset Beach
This wide stretch of white sand is often deserted early in the morning. It's an ideal place for a stroll before work. Here, you can enjoy the calm that pervades the area. Passionate surfers often cite Sunset Beach as a favorite spot. Many local fishermen also come to enjoy some interesting spots.
Families are also very welcome. On site, a children's playground and several barbecue areas. There's even an ephemeral library and free Wi-Fi. I advise you to stay until sunset. Indeed, if that name was chosen for this beach, it's not for nothing!
FIVE Palm Jumeirah
The 150-metre beach is also very attractive, with sun loungers, luxury deckchairs, cabanas and even Jacuzzis. There's also a whole range of signature drinks to sip while soaking up the sun. On-site restaurant offers a menu of Mediterranean-style amuse-bouches.
As far as prices are concerned, I advise you to count on 1,000 dirhams for two people. At this price, you can enjoy the sun loungers on the beach for the day.
