9 Excellent

This serene shoreline boasts a sense of tranquility that is unmatched by other public beaches in Dubai. It offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, with a stunning skyline view that adds to its allure. The beach is meticulously maintained, with impeccable cleanliness that is sure to impress even the most discerning of visitors. The crystal-clear waters are so transparent that the seabed is easily visible, adding to the beach's natural beauty. The only downside is the absence of shower rooms and toilets, but this minor inconvenience is easily overlooked given the beach's many other charms.

The stunning Mercato beach stretches from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to the harbor, boasting vast expanses of shimmering golden sand and designated swimming zones that are closely monitored by vigilant lifeguards. As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, this picturesque destination becomes a hub of activity, with families and friends unwinding and enjoying the tranquil atmosphere. Conveniently located at the end of the running track, you'll find a plethora of amenities, including shops and restaurants situated in the two malls that overlook the beach. Additionally, parking is readily available, making it easy to access this idyllic spot.

5 Tolerable

Despite the hype surrounding the beaches in this area, this one is somewhat tolerable. The parking situation is unpredictable and finding a suitable spot is a hassle. The beach boasts a 2k path for joggers, but cyclists seem to ignore the rules. Walking along the path is pleasant, but don't expect to be alone. Although the beach is not overly crowded, it's best to bring your own food and drinks as the nearby stores and cafes are quite a distance away. The facilities are located at the far end of the beach, and if you're lucky, you might find warm outdoor showers and clean toilets. Swimming in the sea is enjoyable, but don't expect anything extraordinary.
