5 Fun Activities To Try at Dubai Beaches

With Dubai’s tropical desert climate, ignoring the call of the city’s amazing beaches is practically impossible to do. The variety of Dubai beach hotels that locals and visitors alike can choose from certainly makes it easy to find all the things that can be done at the beach relax, play or try an exciting sport or activity. Whatever you want to do under the sun, you’ll have the opportunity to do so in Dubai.

* Surfing

You don’t have to head to Hawaii or Thailand to learn to surf or to try this watersport. The waves at Umm Suqeim Beach are great for surfing. What’s more, while pausing from catching one wave after another, you get to view the stunning splendor of the Burj Al Arab. If you haven’t tried surfing before, you can find a pro at Umm Suqeim who will give you lessons for a fee. There are also surfing shacks here where you can rent or even buy your own board.

* Tubing

If you find gliding over the waves exciting, make sure to try tubing at Jumeirah Beach next. It’s a fantastic way to cool off while enjoying the sights the coastline has to offer. Just find a tour operator and choose if you want to go on a solo ride or join your friends on a group tube ride. Once you’ve booked, be prepared for a thrilling, fast ride along Jumeirah Beach’s beautiful coastline.

* Jet skiing

Jet skiing is another exhilarating water sport to experience at Jumeirah Beach. If you want to explore Dubai’s coast while enjoying a fast, thrilling and wet ride, hop on a jet ski. It’s also one of the best ways to take in the city’s iconic landmarks. From Jumeirah Beach, you can head to the Palm Island and even zip around the Dubai Marina. Try picking various destinations depending on your chosen jet ski rental provider.

* Flyboarding

If you’ve always wanted to fly like Iron Man, flyboarding is the closest thing to that. Although flyboarding isn’t easy (be prepared for a few falls), nothing can beat the experience of gliding up in the air with the beautiful sea below you. It’s another uniquely thrilling activity to try at Jumeirah Beach.

* Paddleboarding

Paddleboarding is a great alternative to surfing, tubing and jet skiing. It will allow you to explore Dubai’s coastline in a slightly less adrenaline-pumping way. Having said that, paddleboarding is also a superb workout – you can get in some exercise and burn calories while skimming the calm blue sea. It’s a wonderful activity to do on your own, with your family, or friends. You can try paddleboarding at the Palm, Jumeirah Beach, and Kite Beach; various shops here offer board and oar rental.
