Free public beaches

Premium beach clubs
For sun loungers, pools and dining, Dubai's beach clubs along Palm Jumeirah and the Marina deliver a polished day out. Many offer skyline views to rival a Marina cruise.
Beach then desert
A perfect Dubai day pairs a relaxed beach morning with an evening desert safari — sea and sand in one itinerary. Or see the coast from the water on a jet ski.
When to go
