La Mer

With shops, restaurants, a waterpark, a beachfront with hammocks and a huge playpark, La Mer is Dubai’s newest beachfront destination. Opened in 2018, it’s free to sunbathe or roam the complex. Kids will love the inflatable playground, and you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to eating – try Motomachi for Japanese desserts.
