Sunset Beach Dubai (Umm Suqeim): Night Swimming and Entry
Sunset Beach, which Visit Dubai also calls Umm Suqeim beach, runs along the coast north of the Burj Al Arab. Entry is free and needs no reservation, and Visit Dubai lists changing facilities and lifeguards.
It is one of Dubai's night-swimming beaches: light installations let swimmers go 30 m out to sea until the lights turn off at midnight, according to Visit Dubai. Dubai Municipality describes its night beaches as staffed "around the clock" and "from sunset to sunrise", without clock times; both are on our public beaches page.
