Kite Beach
Don’t miss the sunset! It's absolutely stunning and perfect for photos. I recommend sticking around until around 6:30 PM—it’s the highlight of the day and gives you those magical Instagram moments.
If you're planning to rent a sunbed or umbrella get there by 9 AM to snag the best spots before they fill up. I learned the hard way when I arrived later and struggled to find a good place to lounge.
Al Mamzar Beach Park
I recommend checking the weather before you go. There are days when it can be super windy, and that kinda ruins the beach vibe.
If you’re into swimming, the water tends to be calmer in the late afternoon. I think that’s when I enjoyed it the most without being tossed around by waves.
Garden of Miracles
JBR Beach
I recommend checking out the local shops around The Walk for unique souvenirs instead of the touristy ones inside malls. You'll find better deals and a more authentic vibe
My advice is to be cautious about the sun - even if it’s cloudy, the rays can be strong. I ended up with a nasty sunburn last time, so load up on sunscreen!
If you're looking to save money, bring your own snacks and drinks. The beachside cafes can be pricey, and honestly, the view is good anywhere on the beach.
Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo
Jumeira Beach Pavillion
I highly recommend hitting the beach early like around 8 AM. It's way less crowded and the sunrise views are incredible! Also grab a nice spot under the palm trees before they get taken.
My advice is to check out the food options at the Pavilion, but maybe avoid peak lunch hours if you're on a budget. Prices can go up when they get super busy. Try to go around 2 PM for cheaper options.
Jumeirah Beach
If you want to experience the beach without the family crowd, I'd recommend visiting on a weekday. It felt much more relaxed!
Mamzar Beach
Al Khan Beach
Don’t forget to bring your own snacks and drinks! The beachside cafes can be a bit pricey, so packing some food can save you a chunk of money.
