<\/figure>\nThe pearlescent sand and clear blue waters mean that it\u2019s well worth making the journey out to the Dubai-Sharjah border to soak up the joys of this particular beach. Once you arrive, you\u2019ll find not just one beach but four, large grassy areas, bicycle paths, a swimming pool, multiple barbecue areas and a skate park. There\u2019s also a scattering of cafes and kiosks for stocking up on beach day necessities (read: ice cream) and the snorkelling from the shallows is pretty good too. At Dhs5 it\u2019s not technically free, but it\u2019s a very small price to pay considering the facilities on offer.
Dhs5. Sun-Wed 8am-10pm, Thu-Sat (and official holidays) 8am-11pm. Al Khaleej Street, Al Mamzar.<\/em><\/p>\nBlack Palace Beach – temporarily closed <\/h2>\n
This beautiful beach of many names (some call it Al Sufouh Beach, others Secret Beach, but we rather like the Black Palace title) holds well-deserved legendary status among long-time Dubai residents. Why, you may wonder? Well, this is the perfect spot when you want to escape the crowds and feel like you\u2019ve gone off the beaten track, but wish to do so without sacrificing those Burj Al Arab views. <\/p>\n
As befits the secret beach moniker there are no facilities or restaurants here so make sure you arrive with supplies in hand. There is, however, normally a rather handy Cafu truck parked up, so you can tick a quick refuel of your to-do list when you visit.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, visitors heading to Al Sufouh Beach will find it temporarily closed. At the beach entrance, there\u2019s a notice announcing the closure. Stay tuned to Time Out Dubai for updates.
Turn right into the slip road after the bus stop on Al Sufouh Road (just before Hessa Street and about 500m before Dubai Media City).<\/em><\/p>\nJBR<\/h2>\n

<\/figure>\nThere\u2019s options aplenty at Dubai\u2019s busiest beach. From sunrise until sunset (and beyond) this stretch of coast – and the busy promenade behind it – throngs with activity, people and possibility thanks to the children\u2019s play areas, inflatable Aqua Park, sun-loungers for hire and restaurants, cafés and beach clubs galore. Arrive early and snag yourself a prime spot on the sand, then spend the day admiring the superb Ain Dubai views.
The Beach, opposite JBR.<\/em><\/p>\nJumeirah Open Beach<\/h2>\n
Spanning quite the distance from Dubai Marine Beach Resort all the way up to the swanky Four Seasons Resort, this is a lovely chilled beach – ideal for enjoying a few hours on the sand with a good book. If you\u2019re keen for some land-based activity, hit the smooth track that runs parallel to the beach (we\u2019ll leave it up to you whether you run, walk, skate, blade or simple meander along it).

<\/figure>\nPicturesque, peaceful and far less built up than many of Dubai\u2019s beaches. When all you want to do is chuck your towel on the sand, feel the warmth of the sun on your skin and power through your latest book or podcast, Jebel Ali Beach should be your go-to.<\/p>\n
Amenities are limited but there is a small kiosk selling snacks, ice creams and cold drinks (read: the essentials) and from time-to-time pop up coffee or food trucks appear.

<\/figure>\nTrendy cafés and gourmet food shacks; a skate park, hanging rope obstacle course, human sling shot experience, long swathes of sand, running track, options to go paddle boarding, water skiing, kayaking and of course kite surfing – consider that list just a taste of things to do at this fab beach hub.<\/p>\n
Brilliant for adults, kids and everyone in between, Kite Beach may have grown its offerings at pace over the last few years but a real sense of character remains.

<\/figure>\nAll the neighbourhood feels. Sure, this isn\u2019t the most spectacular beach in town but when old-school beach holiday activities are on the agenda – rock pooling, sand castle building, shell collecting and shoreside paddling – Mercato\u2019s your beach. Technically part of Jumeirah Open Beach, this is a quieter section of sand we\u2019re rather fond of.<\/p>\n
Seek respite from the sun and reward the family for embracing wholesome screen-time free fun with an ice cream from Mercato Mall or up the ante and treat the team to lunch at 3Fils in nearby Jumeirah Fishing Harbour (you won\u2019t be disappointed).

<\/figure>\nWhile this beach is most popular with kite surfers, there\u2019s plenty of scope for paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming and sailing too. It\u2019s a quieter stretch of sand, though a Common Grounds cafe is coming soon, so it\u2019ll also be a great spot for brekkie.

<\/figure>\nThis wide stretch of milky-white sand is often deserted in the early morning (it\u2019s great for a pre-work stroll) and tends to remain if not exactly quiet, then certainly calm, throughout the day. Keen surfers often cite Sunset Beach, also known as Public Beach, as a top spot, fishing is popular, families are well catered for thanks to a children\u2019s playground and clutch of BBQ areas and there\u2019s even a pop-up library and free Wi-Fi (our kinda place). As the name suggests, you should of course stick around for sunset.

<\/figure>\nDubai opened up three of its beaches for night swimming in May this year, with extra lighting, dedicated electronic screens with safety information and dedicated lifeguards. Our top pick is an 800m-stretch near Sunset Beach, but there are also options in Jumeirah 1 and 2.

<\/figure>\nThe pool here is huge, the giant sun loungers are comfy, beach access is included, there\u2019s a lush green lawn for lazing and the views out over the Arabian Gulf are stellar. Spend the day, enjoy the sunset, then decide if you\u2019re going to stay to party the night away.

<\/figure>\nReady those ‘phones: this party beach club has serious Insta potential (we\u2019re talking a glass-sided pool and a chandelier to start). The 150-metre stretch of beach is pretty alluring too, with loungers, deluxe sun beds, cabanas and even Jacuzzies. There\u2019s also a range of signature drinks to sip while you soak up the sun and a menu made up of Mediterranean-style bites.

<\/figure>\nWhen beach day equals party day, Bla Bla on JBR\u2019s beachfront is a no-brainer. This place promises exuberant Ibiza-inspired vibes, lots of live entertainment, a fancy pool complete with in-water sun loungers and ace views of Ain Dubai.<\/p>\n
They also host a monthly day-to-night pool party, weekly Sunday brunch by the pool and Miami Beats ladies\u2019 day on Tuesdays. Beach-style preening and partying opportunities don\u2019t get much better than this (if that\u2019s your bag).

<\/figure>\nEscape to the Med in chic style at this breezy, buzzing beach club at Caesars Bluewaters. Here you can book a single mattress, sunbed or double sunbed, settle on the sand or by the vast pool and spend the day accompanied by gorgeous sea views. There\u2019s plenty of promos to check out, including an all-day deal on pink grape on Wednesdays (women only). However, you\u2019ll have to be quick as this beach club is closing at the end of the month as part of the Caesars Palace reflagging to the Banyan Tree brand.

<\/figure>\nDRIFT at the One&Only Royal Mirage is one of the classiest clubs of them all.

<\/figure>\nOne of Dubai\u2019s best all-round beach clubs and a great pick for families thanks to the chilled atmosphere, spacious strip of beach (plenty of room for sandcastles, sun loungers and splashing in the shallows) and duo of swimming pools.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\nHaving been open over a year now, this Jebel Ali beach club is a firm favourite on Dubai\u2019s beach club scene. As well as a gleaming infinity pool surrounded by a 26-metre-long sunbed, this day-to-night destination boasts a long stretch of golden sand with sun beds and umbrellas aplenty.

<\/figure>\nOne of the more exclusive beach clubs in Dubai, an afternoon spent at Summersalt is as much about the food as it is about the sun-worshipping, so we suggest you arrive hungry. Divided into two equally enticing restaurants – one Peruvian and one Asian – fill up on some great grub before retiring to your cabana for an afternoon snooze. Don\u2019t expect any thumping beats here – just gentle chatter and waves hitting the shore.

<\/figure>\nA lesson in beach-side luxe awaits at this chic French Riviera-style destination at the Park Hyatt Dubai.

<\/figure>\nYet to re-open for the winter season, we\u2019re all eagerly awaiting the relaunch of WHITE Beach. This super-trendy beach club and bar is the place for a proper party by the sea.

<\/figure>\nSpend your day here lying back on the beach (choose between plush sun loungers and private cabanas) or by the glass-fronted pool (you know, the one you\u2019ve seen on Insta).
