La Mer is Dubai's best all-round free public beach - a kilometre of clean white sand lined with beachfront restaurants, ice cream parlours, surf shops and casual cafés, with calm shallow water and a gentle bank that makes it excellent for families with small children. The wider La Mer development that backs the beach blends open-air street food, boutique retail and a funfair, which means the beach-to-dining transition is seamless. The Burj Al Arab silhouette appears to the south on a clear day. Free to enter, free to swim - just pay for parking. It gets busy on weekends, but the beach is generous enough that it rarely feels overcrowded.
