Detailed guides
Dubai beaches and sea holidays: 1 guide
Sea, sand and sunshine all year
Dubai's coastline stretches for more than 70 kilometres along the warm Arabian Gulf. Free public beaches such as JBR, Kite Beach, La Mer and Al Mamzar sit alongside private hotel beaches and stylish beach clubs on Palm Jumeirah and Bluewaters. The sea stays above 20 °C even in winter and reaches about 30 °C in summer.
Our beach guides explain where to swim, which beaches have lifeguards and night swimming, what to wear and which areas are best for families, sport or a quiet day by the sea.
Frequently asked questions
Can you swim in Dubai in winter?
Yes. The water rarely drops below 20–22 °C, so swimming is comfortable from October to May.
Are Dubai beaches free?
Most public beaches are free; hotel beaches and beach clubs charge a day pass that often includes food and drink credit.
