Top 10 Best Beaches in Dubai – Sun, Sand & Fun in Dubai

If you happen to be looking for 1.24 million square meters of beach and fun, you're in the right place! La Mer Dubai is essentially the perfect blend of contemporary and minimalist design. The architecture at La Mer follows the theme of 'sea marine' (fair, given that La Mer literally translates to the 'sea'), and the objects that have been used are said to be embodying rusted metal and tinted barrels.

With four important zones: The Beach, The Entertainment Hub, The North Island, and The South Island , La Mer promises all things sun, sand, and fun! With wide open walkways lined with palm tree boulevards, cabanas, and graffiti, La Mer is essentially the best way to relax on a day out.

No matter what the name might suggest, Kite Beach isn't restricted to just surfers and people who enjoy sports. No. No matter your age and what you do/like doing, Kite Beach is essentially the perfect way to have a fun day out, as the GenZ likes to call it.

Although, if you are someone who enjoys time out on the waves and a good surf, Kite Beach is just for you!
