The Best Beaches in Dubai

Dubai is amazing in every sense of the world. It’s home to the fanciest restaurants, contemporary architectural masterpieces, the world’s most mind-blowing museums, and iconic skyscrapers like Burj Khalifa. But it’s also the city with the best beaches you can possibly find around the globe.

In this guide, we’re going to discuss the best beaches in Dubai, entrance conditions, and top beach activities. Some of them, by the way, are perfect for a car photoshoot. So, if you’re going to rent Lamborghini or another top vehicle from the Trinity car fleet or just visit a great beach — read on. We share all the most helpful information below.

Al Mamzar Beach Park

Key information about the beach:

• Cost of entrance: 5 AED per person/30 AED per vehicle
• Beach occupancy rate: Medium to high
• Dress code: No strict dress code, general beach attire norms

Al Mamzar Park isn’t exactly a private beach, but you’ll still need to pay a fee of 5 AED to enter the area. That makes it less crowded, though, and considering how beautiful and comfortable the place is, for many, it’s definitely worth the price. So, what’s special about it? Multiple things. There are showers, restrooms, changing rooms, picnic tables, barbeque facilities, WiFi, and more. Also, you can buy tickets easily via a mobile app.

Note that it’s open exclusively to women and children on some days. On all other days, everyone can enjoy its greenery, family-friendly vibe, and multiple activities. Note that you can enter the area in your car. For example, you can rent Ferrari if you go there alone or with your date, or choose a top SUV from our car fleet (get a fuel tank as a gift in any case) if you’re going with a large family. The fee will be 30 AED anyway.

Jumeirah Public Beach

Key information about the beach:

• Cost of entrance: Free
• Beach occupancy rate: Medium to high
• Dress code: No strict dress code, general beach attire norms

Jumeirah Public Beach is rightly considered to be one of the top free Dubai beaches. It’s a unique place where you can not only enjoy the warm azure waters and white sand but also the mind-blowing view of the Dubai Eye from up close. If you’re more into active rest, you’ll be able to choose among multiple activities, including parasailing, skiing, and paddleboarding. It’s perfect for family time or romantic dates.

Still, it’s not a private beach. It may be quite crowded — a lot of people come to see the Eye, Jumeirah Beach Residence, and just enjoy the entire view at large. Still, you can go there in the early morning or late afternoon, so the place will be nearly empty.

This time is also perfect for a car photoshoot, so if you are considering a luxury car rental, you can get one of the 80+ amazing vehicles, go to the beach, and take some mind-blowing photos in the natural lighting of Dubai. You’ll also get a personal manager who can give you some recommendations on how to plan everything right.

However, it’s not all it has to offer.

It’s also open 24/7, so you can have an amazing night beach experience in the city. There’s a library for those who want to relax in a nice natural setting, a lot of spots for children, and an endless choice of delicious meals and drinks. It’s a perfect place for enjoying a promenade, getting active with friends, or just sunbathing. It’s another top place for a car photo shoot, by the way. You can rent a car, and the Trinity personal manager will assist you, offer flexible payment methods, including crypto, and help you get a personal driver if necessary.

Located on Jumeirah Beach Road, adjacent to Umm Suqeim Park, Sunset Beach is one of the cleanest and most vibrant Dubai beaches. It’s very cozy and safe. Basically, you can even level your stuff on the towel and go for a walk without worrying about anything. Residents and tourists can rent a lounge chair with a towel, but it makes more sense to those who are planning to spend at least a few hours in this amazing location. Of course, there are showers, toilets, and a lot of facilities where fans of active rest can enjoy parasailing, jet skiing, or paddleboarding.

Still, the amazing view of Burj Al Arab is its main advantage. You can go there at any time of the day and night using public or private transportation, so if you decide to rent a car and enjoy your time on Sunset Beach, you’ll experience no difficulty overall.

Both tourists and Dubai residents appreciate its quiet environment, well-maintained changing rooms and showers, and professional lifeguards. It’s close to Union metro station, but you’ll still need to order a taxi to get to it.

Al Sufouh Beach, also known as Secret Beach, is one of the least crowded beaches in the entire city. A few locals, and especially tourists, know about it. Though there are not so many restaurants and various facilities, it’s absolutely perfect for those who put privacy and relaxation vibes first.

It’s close to the Marina, the parking is easy and very close to the sea, which makes it perfect for car photography, too. So, if you have a car, you can just take your supplies and have a great time with the amazing views as the place is between Burj Al Arab and the Palm. The only disadvantage is that there are no showers right on the beach, but that’s one of the reasons why the place is less frequently visited.

Resort Beaches versus Public Beaches

There are hundreds of amazing beaches in the city, but all can be divided into two main categories: resort beaches and public beaches. So, should you choose a private place or go to a public beach in Dubai? Take a look at the table, and you’ll make the right informed choice.

Many resort beaches also have additional benefits like spa services, parties, and club events, but the entrance fees are usually quite high.

Beach Activities

If sunbathing and swimming aren’t something you want to do for a really long time, there are quite a few other activities you can enjoy on the beaches of Dubai. Here are the most popular options widely available in most of the above-mentioned spots:

• jet skiing;
• flyboarding;
• parasailing and paragliding;
• beach volleyball;
• kayaking;
• paddleboarding;
• scuba diving;
• surfing.

Also, remember that some beaches on the list are available 24/7, so night swimming can be called a separate type of beach activity in Dubai. Note that if want to rent a car for a photoshoot or just for the experience, you can do it at any time, and it can be delivered to any location, including beaches.
