The most beautiful beaches in Dubai

The 7 best beaches in Dubai

1. 

   The World Island

   • The World

   The perfect beach for couples

   If you are looking for a quiet beach and would like to enjoy togetherness, this is the place for you. The World Island (also called Lebanon Island) is one of the 300 islands of the artificially created archipelago "The World". The island is only about 2000 m² and can only be reached by water taxi. In addition, the entrance fee is charged - an independent day trip!
   There are no overnight accommodations on the island, as there are only small chalets, a restaurant, bars, and a new pool on the island.
   The island's extensive sandy beach and turquoise sea invite you to linger in a magical and quiet atmosphere.

   Our tip: As the island is only visited a few times a day by water taxi, we recommend that you book a day trip to The World Island in advance. Reserve your seat on board today.

2. Al Sufouh Beach

   • Al Sufouh

   Quiet and natural beach

   Al Sufouh Beach is a public beach with a beautiful view of the Burj al Arab and the Palm Jumeirah. The spacious beach convinces above all by the crystal clear water, in which you can swim wonderfully.
   It is essential to know that the beach has no public facilities (no toilets/showers). This has the subtle side effect that there are only rarely large crowds of people here, and one enjoys a rather private bathing experience.
   The Al Sufouh Beach is especially popular with families, as the sea is relatively calm here.

Dubai's Beaches: As Versatile as the City Itself

Whether for families, couples, water sports enthusiasts, or friends - everyone will find the perfect beach in Dubai! Due to its location on the Persian Gulf, Dubai offers a turquoise sea, which invites you to surf, snorkel, relax and splash around. Besides, the climate provides year-round high temperatures with plenty of sunshine and hardly any rain. But also the water temperature - which lies between 20 and 32 °C - makes bathing fun all year round. Dubai is, therefore, a perfect destination for all those who like to lie on the beach and still don't want to be far away from the city center.

Beaches in Dubai

In Dubai, most beach sections are assigned to individual hotels. These private beaches are for hotel guests only. The access of third parties is, unfortunately, forbidden and is strictly controlled.

Besides the crystal clear sea, Dubai's beaches offer much more: Many of the beaches have beach volleyball courts, playgrounds, restaurants, and small market and shopping stalls.

In Dubai, it's perfectly okay to go to the beach as a tourist in ordinary swimwear. But to show respect for the culture in Dubai, you should not sunbathe topless or even naked. A bikini, swimsuit, or swimming trunks that are not unusually provocative will be accepted.
