La Mer
A seaside leisure district in Jumeirah with a free beach, street murals, restaurants and a water park, with views of the Burj Khalifa.
La Mer is a waterfront complex developed by Meraas, featuring wooden boardwalks, shops styled like shipping containers and graffiti walls that are great for photos. The free public beach has good facilities, including showers and changing rooms. The small Laguna Waterpark is suitable for children. In the evening, you can see both the sunset over the sea and the city skyline from the sand. It is about 15 minutes’ drive from central Dubai, with no direct metro access.
