Kite Beach

Parking can be tricky, especially on weekends. I suggest using public transport or ride-sharing services so you can avoid the hassle of finding a spot. I ended up walking quite a distance from an overfilled lot.

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

My advice is to check for any events happening. Sometimes, there are festivals or activities which can add a fun twist to your visit

The park has some nice spots for a quiet hangout, but I found a few areas were a bit littered. A little cleanup wouldn’t hurt, so keep an eye out for not-so-clean spots!

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

I suggest booking your tickets online to save some time queuing up at the entrance. It can get really crowded, especially on weekends.

Make sure to take your time at the Underwater Zoo section - it’s got some unique exhibits that are all worth seeing!

Lastly, I recommend checking out the gift shop but be careful, things can be a bit expensive there, so maybe set a budget.
Jumeira Beach Pavillion

If you’re planning to swim, be aware of the currents. I had a little scare, so I suggest sticking around the lifeguarded areas for a safer experience.

I think it’s a good idea to bring some snacks and water. The prices at shops can be steep, so save your cash for the really good stuff at local eateries.
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

Don’t forget to soak up the sunset around 6 PM. Watching the sun dip behind the Burj Al Arab is just magical and totally worth it.

I suggest getting there early, around 8 AM, to snag the best sun loungers and avoid the crowds. Trust me, it makes a huge difference!

Check for public transportation options like the metro; it’s affordable and drops you near the beach. Parking can be a hassle if you drive

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

if you can, avoid the weekends. it can get super crowded and parking might be a headache. i had to circle the lot a few times until i found a spot.
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.
JBR Marina Beach

Don't forget to check for beach access hours. I thought you could hang out all day, but they kick you out around 10 pm. If you wanna catch the sunset, arrive around 5:30 pm!

I think you should bring a beach umbrella if you can. While there are rentals available, they can add up fast. I got sunburned on my first visit because I underestimated the midday sun!

I recommend using public transport instead of taxis. The tram and metro are super handy, clean, and way cheaper. Plus, you won’t have to worry about finding parking – that can be a pain!
