What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Jumeirah Public Beach offers a unique 24/7 access and stunning views of the Burj Al Arab, making it a peaceful escape for many. While some visitors appreciate its tranquil atmosphere and dog-friendly policy, others note a decline in facilities and the closure of surrounding amenities, leading to disappointment for those expecting a more developed experience.
"It was a cool experience! The sea is calm and the water is clean... I don't recommend going in the summer, as there are no umbrellas and the sea gets very hot, other than that there are plenty of things to do around and good restaurants"

"The beach and all the surroundings were very nice and fancy until 2 years ago. Now all the restaurants were closed and the beach was neglected and ecinct due to the fact that this area will be under reconstruction. However, this is not published anywhere! People were coming and got big shocked. Toilets are disgusting, etc....we were disappointed big time. This is not the usual behaviour from the Dubai "management"...."
Gabriella Nemeth
"Jumeirah Public Beach at La Mer was a stunning spot to enjoy with my fiancé. The beach itself is beautiful and peaceful, offering a relaxing escape without the usual crowds. The calm atmosphere made it feel like we had a private getaway right by the water.
Though 90% of the area feels somewhat abandoned, that added to the charm. It was like exploring a hidden gem with a unique blend of open space, art installations, and beach vibes. The untouched areas make for great photo spots and an enjoyable walk around the site, with views you wouldn’t usually find in a busier setting.
Overall, Jumeirah Public Beach in La Mer is perfect for anyone looking for a quieter beach experience and some scenic, off-the-beaten-path exploration."
