This is the best public beach in Dubai, where you can swim till the sunset. The sea is clean and mostly calm, comparing with other beaches. Many lifeguards, every 100 meters. Free toilets and free public showers are available. More private showers, sunbeds and umbrellas are available for additional fee. There are lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. Two parkings are available: free at the surface (although it’s almost full all the time) and underground for additional fee. If you are OK with walking, you can park on the free city parking in the neighbourhood and walk for about 15 mins to the beach.

Nice and quiet. But after sunset the security guards kick you even from the road nearby. The water is not exactly clean.

You can’t control the waves, but you can learn to swim with them. The Open Water World Championship isn’t just a race - it’s a test of resilience, adaptability, and heart. 🌍💙 To every swimmer embracing the challenge: ride the waves, find your rhythm, and show the world what you’re made of. 🌟🏅

I liked the beach. Beautiful, stylish and clean. There is a shower with a token receiver, but if you go a little further, then there is also a free one. There are a lot of stylish things around in the form of art objects, graffiti and installations. The place is very photogenic and comfortable. I recommend you to visit not only for swimming, but also for walking. I'll update the review. We visited the beach again 9 months later. Sadly, the place is falling into disrepair. The pavilions are closed, it is clear that no one is watching the infrusture, everything is getting old, but at least they are cleaning up and the shower is free at the end of the beach. Apparently someone went bankrupt... Nevertheless, the beach itself is accessible, and the water and sand here are some of the best in Dubai.

I was here in the fall of 2022, and everything worked. showers, cafes, deck chairs and so on. Now the beach can be called abandoned. The water is flammable, but dirty, and there are some plastic fragments that I don't understand. The beach seems to be being cleaned (someone went to pick it up), but there are a lot of cigarette butts, corks and other small debris. But there are few people. You can change clothes in the showers, and there seems to be water for a fee.

The beach is very cool, clean, there are showers and changing rooms. I especially liked that there are various art structures all over the beach, it looks very unusual and atmospheric! I also recommend taking a walk there in the evening, it's very cozy!

In general, the beach is not bad, sandy. There is some garbage, but not critical. Rescuers and security are working. Only... Unexpectedly, the beach was closed in the area from 16.00 to 17.00 and people were simply kicked out of the beach by security. There are buildings on the beach, but for some reason everything is abandoned. In the evening, the lights and garlands turn on, it's very beautiful. There are outdoor showers. There are also enclosed showers, but they don't work and are used as changing cabins.

One of the best free beaches in Dubai. Repairs are starting now, so everything is closed. But there are free showers and toilets. It's pretty clean and the water is great. The rescuers whistle as soon as you swim behind the buoys, the guards are also vigilant.

One of the best public beaches in Dubai and the whole world, they say, used to be called Russian. Unfortunately, the entertainment town has been closed around it. But the clear water, light sand and the absence of large waves create the magic of relaxation. Very nice people, there are a lot of Russians closer to the hotel, there are more Asian tourists on the other side of the beach, they are also very friendly and positive. The main thing is to swim in the morning or after lunch, in the afternoon you can quickly get burned in hot and sunny weather. A lot of rescuers are monitoring safety, one of the disadvantages is that from the moment of sunset, from about 17.30-18 hours, swimming is prohibited. But this is for the safety of tourists, they are driven out of the water with whistles. At night, it is also forbidden to approach the water and walk on the sand - strict laws. Nearby there is a Viva supermarket and a McDonald's - you can have a snack and buy something you need. Prices at Viva are very low, the choice is huge, the air conditioners will instantly cool down after the heat.

A normal public beach. There are a lot of non-working buildings, there are several street food shops for snacking (fresh food, ice cream, smoothies, fast food, tea, coffee, water), there are paid showers and toilets in the form of colorful houses, but there is also a free shower. I didn't find any changing booths open for money, so I went into the paid shower, didn't pay, and just changed there. The sea is calm here, there were small waves only once when the wind picked up from the sea. There aren't too many people, but I even liked it. Umbrellas, bag chairs for money, I haven't seen sun beds. The further away from the sea, the more garbage there is (cigarette butts, sunflower husks) A residential complex is being built in relative proximity and the sounds of construction are heard periodically.

We visited this beach in December 2025. It's a great place, it's a pity that this beach was once abandoned. I really hope that I will be able to visit Dubai again and come back for a swim.) The beach is without pathos, the coast is clean, the water is clear, palm trees.

The beach in March 2025 was abandoned and looked more like ruins than a place to relax. They promise to renovate it, but it is not known when. Sun beds and umbrellas, which used to be in a separate fenced area, are missing from the hotel. The hotel offers accommodation at a nearby beach club by appointment. During peak season, you may not get there if you don't sign up early in the morning. Previously, there was a real paradise here - infrastructure, restaurants, cafes for every taste and budget, beautiful and well-maintained territory. Now there is nothing but sand and sea.

It's comfortable for me, because I don't use sun beds and umbrellas. The sea is relatively clean, and I've been fishing for trash from time to time. Fish and starfish swim near the shore. We were in October. There is a shower, toilet, locker room, lifeguards. Of course, there is also a place to hang out with children. Parking is not large, mainly a shuttle service is used. We were there until 12:00. The water is warm already at 9:00

Nice urban sandy beach. There is no rental of sun beds and umbrellas. We visited it the year before last, at that time there was a food court and the showers were closed. There is no such thing this year. The showers are only open outside. The beach is clean, there are trash cans everywhere, the water is clear, lifeguards are working. Lots of different fish and saw starfish.

I love this beach, it's quiet and peaceful. Mini forest with palm trees. But there are no deck chairs, and lately little India has been trying to get to know people. The disadvantage is that shops and cafes have been closed for a long time, but there are changing rooms and showers.

At the beginning of 2020, it was a heavenly place. Now the beach is in terrible condition, all the establishments are closed, and some of them are already being dismantled. There is no water in the changing rooms, besides, some people use them as a toilet, the smell is appropriate, there is a construction site in the sea in front of the beach, machinery is constantly rumbling and construction debris periodically washes up on the shore. The sand is dirty, there are a lot of cigarette butts and other debris left by vacationers. It is a pity that such a gorgeous beach has fallen into disrepair.

It's a great place! It's a pity that it's not the season, and they didn't find it working, and they say that a private beach with high-rise buildings will soon be in place of this space. So we're in luck! The sea is clean, once a small jellyfish looked in, and a couple of times she was worried about someone, but she didn't see it. The fish are fluttering underfoot. I've been to four beaches in Dubai, and honestly, I liked this one and Port la Mer. Soft sand. On Palmbich, the beach is concrete, it feels like it's lightly dusted with sand, but here it's really a sandy beach. We explored the entire La Mer space, a very atmospheric place! By the way, the toilets and the shower are very clean, cleaned all day. Security is in constant motion, and rescuers have been working like clockwork since 8 a.m., especially for parents with young children!

We were in 4 emirates, on different beaches. I recommend La mer. For me, this beach is the best for several reasons: a gentle entrance, enough space from the buoys to the shore for swimming, a bay = no waves, calm enough. The disadvantage is big, but temporary: all establishments are closed for reconstruction. Only the changing rooms and showers are open. The toilet is obviously not serviced, although people go there... You can buy water on the next street, and through one there are many shops, cafes and restaurants

Disgusting. If it were possible to put 0.... Garbage is everywhere, on the sand, in the water. There's a construction site nearby. Everything is abandoned. There is no cafe nearby. Sun loungers or umbrellas too. There is not even a lifeguard, the tower is empty. But there are pigeons and seagulls in huge numbers. The first beach where I didn't swim for more than 10 minutes, although I really love this business. There is no water in the showers, they are used as changing rooms. The stink is just terrible, the only plus is that there are very few people there, but it's understandable. The majority of Russian speakers. Unfortunately, we went there on the last day, now it will be difficult to forget this nightmare. Even the beaches of Yeysk seem like a garden of Eden in comparison.

Out of season (until about October 15th), there are not many people. You can lie in the shade of palm trees. The water is very warm. Cool down so that it doesn't work out very well. The shower wasn't working. But there is an alternative- a street shower. In the form of buckets on a pole). The sand is white. There are small shells. Schools of small fish swim in the water near the shore. The cafes are open only during the season. So you need to bring water with you. There is a toilet and changing rooms. There are 4 rescuers working. They only know Arabic. Into Russian, via the translator app.

There are no beach cafes, no rental of sun beds and umbrellas for December 2025. Construction work is underway nearby, and something may be being reconstructed. It's not very far from the bus stop.

The beach is not in the best condition at the moment, yes, there are lifeguards and security, but the shops and cafes are all closed, there is nowhere to buy water or ice cream. You can comfortably sit under palm trees on the sand, but I would like to be able to rent sun beds. About the toilet, my husband couldn't come in because of a very strong specific ambergris, I didn't even try to get closer than a meter after such a review. I really hope that a full-scale renovation will take place soon and the beach will be one of the best in Dubai again.

Previously, this beach was the most instagrammed beach in Dubai. A flat area was set up, there were many cafes, shops and photo zones. Everything has been closed for a long time and is not working. It was closed due to problems with the sewage system - it was not made according to the standards. A tender for its reconstruction is currently being held. The beach is wild, but some people like it: clear water, practically no people, no boats and speedboats. There are still lifeguards on duty at the beach, you can change clothes in the old cabins that don't close))) It is an ideal place for lovers of silence, lack of amenities and crowds of tourists.

It's a great beach, clean, but there are a lot of people because it's very small. The beach area is simply beautifully equipped, there are a lot of beautiful places where you can just take wonderful pictures and take a bunch of cool photos. You can take a bath, and then take a free shower with fresh water and change your clothes. To get either by taxi directly to the beach, or by car, parking is free 500-600 meters from the beach before reaching it.

It's a nice beach, and this location was convenient for us. Clean, white sand, warm water in December. But all the locks in the toilet are broken, there is no paper and soap. Although it was clean, the cleaners were sitting nearby, working, but as if there was no funding. La Mer beach is slowly curving.

Quiet and cozy beach, few people. There are palm trees under which you can hide from the sun. Shower cabins can be used as changing rooms (the water in the cabins is paid). You can wash your feet and roll off for free. There is little infrastructure on the beach - there are only a few places with food and drinks, but there are few people and there are no queues, you can easily buy everything you need - ice cream, juices, smoothies, water, there is a tent with beach accessories, as well as a trailer with food for a snack. The beach itself is beautifully decorated in a pirate style, illuminated in the evening, although you can not swim after sunset. There are lifeguards, you can rent an umbrella. The entry into the water is smooth and shallow. The water is calm, without waves, clean, small fish swim near the shore. In general, the beach will appeal to lovers of a calm, non-crowded place, a sea without waves. There's a construction site nearby, but it didn't stop you from relaxing.

It's a nice beach, there's a place to change clothes and take shelter in the sun, but it's better to take your folding umbrella, it was very useful to us in August) The approach is smooth, the sand is pleasant. In August, the water temperature is 36-37 degrees. The only downside is that it costs a little to renovate the beach, but we liked it that way.

The beach is very beautiful in design, but the infrastructure, once very stylish, is not working. There are several showers and one toilet (all free of charge).

The water is clean, very warm, very salty, there are almost no waves, the best time for swimming is from 16.00 to 19.00. The sun is very beautiful at sunset, the breeze from the sea. There aren't many people on weekdays, there are Indians on weekends, etc.

The beach is located in a small bay, on the right side there is a construction site, from which there is constant noise… There are showers, but not all of them work, and there is a periodic queue of "locals" who arrange washrooms there.… There are no umbrellas, no sun beds, no cafes, probably only lifeguards and security guards are present, who appear ~ 18 hours after sunset, and begin to drive everyone out of the sea and from the beach, not going to the beach in the evening The beach itself is dirty, full of cigarette butts, plastic, and the entrance to the sea is clean. It's a pity that such an interesting idea burns out under the scorching sun and is not serviced by anyone. There's a big influx of "locals" over the weekend who behave shamelessly, or we're just unlucky... October 2025

The beach is abandoned at the beginning of April (or maybe forever), although there are lifeguards and guards. There is one street food trailer, a couple of trays with ice cream and smoothies. There is a shower on the beach. It can be seen that there used to be a lot of life here, along the beach all the buildings are functionally designed for cafes, restaurants, clubs, etc., but now they are not used. The water is clear only if the wind is not blowing from the sea. Otherwise, the water becomes dirty.
