Dubai has taken second place in the world for the number of family beaches.
Would you like to spend a day at the beach with your children? You’re in luck: Dubai has been recognized as the second most family-friendly beach destination in the world. Only in Dubai can you find camel rides and the world’s largest inflatable water park.
Research by Insure My Trip showed that Dubai was second only to Costa Rica. Parameters evaluated included average sea temperature, cost of water activities, cleanliness, and safety of the beaches. Dubai scored 10 out of 10 for safety, thanks to its water parks and family attractions.
The third place was taken by Australia’s Gold Coast, and France, Corsica, and Sri Lanka also made it to the top 10.
Dubai’s beaches will become even better thanks to new zones for night swimming, cycling tracks, and specially designated women’s beaches. This was confirmed by Sheikh HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum as part of the “Dubai 2033 Quality of Life” strategy aimed at improving access to essential services within a 20-minute drive for all residents.
