Winter in Dubai means beach days, comfortable beach days, where sitting in the sun will not make your body mimic a sauna session. Now we have glorious mid 30s temperatures, cooling breezes and clear blue skies.
A beautiful beach in Dubai is Sunset Beach located in Umm Suqeim beside the Burj al Arab. During the weekend parking can fill up quickly but is usually not an issue if you arrive before 09h00. The side which is closest to the Burj al Arab is most busy so be prepared to stake your claim early. Sunset Beach is an open beach but I have not noticed many gawkers. The beach is unfortunately still lacking in facilities, currently there are only changing cubicles. The water is quite shallow but be aware that there may be undercurrents in the middle of the beach because of the shape of the beach. The sand is clean and the waters are clear and almost turquoise.

Beautiful not only in the day light, Sunset Beach is of course known for its views at sunset as well as the unobstructed view of Burj al Arab at night. Whichever time you go pack a blanket and a picnic to make the most of your time.
