Also called Umm Suqeim Beach. Dubai's most photographed beach: sand, turquoise water and the Burj Al Arab 500 m offshore right in front of you. This is Dubai's surf spot — Surf House Dubai runs lessons. Clean and relatively quiet, with no tourist infrastructure — come for the shot and the swim, not the restaurants.
Tips
Best at sunset — the Burj lights up. June–September brings real swell (southern shamal wind). RTA parking is free on weekdays, packed on weekends.
