A
Al-Mamzar Park
This lush landscaped park is one of Dubai’s hidden gems. It stretches across a couple of very pleasant kilometres on a small headland at the mouth of Khor al-Mamzar. Situated on an attractive inlet, just across from Sharjah, there are lovely white sandy beaches, a swimming pool, barbecues, and kiosks. For kids there are also plenty of open spaces and play areas and a wooden castle. Lifeguards are on duty between 8am and 6pm on at least one of the small beaches. Friday is busy, but during the week you can have the place to yourself.

Jumeirah Open Beach
Also known as Russian Beach because of its popularity with Russian tourists, this stretch of white sand is paralleled by a paved path popular with strollers, joggers, inline skaters and cyclists. Alas, on Fridays it teems with off-duty male guest workers keen on ogling bikini beauties. Although you probably won’t get physically accosted, women may feel more comfortable further south at Jumeirah Beach Park. Showers, toilets and kiosks are available.

Jumeirah Beach Park
It’s a real treat to take a walk on the grass at this verdant park, as it’s a couple of degrees cooler than the beach. Fronting onto a long stretch of sand, the park has lifeguards on duty, a children’s play area, barbecues, picnic tables, walkways and kiosks.

Kite Beach
Also known as Wollongong Beach, this long pristine stretch of sand is quiet and a great place for relaxed sunbathing but, alas, it has zero facilities.
