Beaches are not the first attractions that come to mind when you think about a desert destination like Dubai. However, thanks to the marvels of modern urban design, Dubai is home to many beautiful stretches of beaches, both natural and artificial. Here are a few that offer excellent getaways from the city:
Lar Mer Beach
Lar Mer is the Dubai beach destination that has everything: gorgeous views, amazing eateries, and a massive array of watersports and similar attractions. The place is great for families, couples, single travellers, or large groups.
Jumeirah Beach
This beach is massively popular as a family-friendly destination. There are many cafes and restaurants in the area and, of course, many types of water sports both adults and kids can enjoy. One of the primary attractions of the beach is the surrounding water, which is mostly calm and safe for young swimmers. Weekends can get busy with the nearby Palm Jumeirah hotel bustling with activity, so it’s wise to plan in advance.

White Beach
As the name suggests, White Beach is a stretch of artificial coastline with pearl-white, powder-fine sand. If you want to indulge in the over-the-top luxury Dubai is known for, this is the place to be. You can enjoy world-class services and a stunning view of the Dubai Marina glimmering in the distance.
Sunset Beach
Everyone loves to crowd to the lovely beaches in Dubai, so if you prefer a more quiet place to sunbathe, the Sunset Beach in Jumeirah is a great option. Unlike other beaches brimming with amenities, Sunset Beach has only a few allowing it to maintain a low-key vibe. The place is perfect for evening walks. Plus, nearby luxury accommodation options, like the Avani Palm View Dubai, make up for any amenities you might not find on-site.
