TL;DR

Top picks are Mercato Beach (currently one of the best) and La Mer promenade (partly under renovation but still nice); the beach near Sheikh Zayed Road by Conrad Dubai hotel is also convenient.

What the community said

One of the best beaches right now is Mercato Beach.

Mercato Beach

Also worth visiting is the La Mer promenade — it's partly under renovation right now, but still a beautiful spot worth the visit.

La Mer

If staying at Conrad Dubai hotel (Sheikh Zayed Road area, 2 stops from Rose), the beach is nearby — best to walk there in the morning or evening only, as midday temps hit around +40°C (104°F).

Conrad Dubai, Sheikh Zayed Road

You can comfortably walk to the beach in the Sheikh Zayed area even in late May with +40°C (104°F) heat — the warm breeze helps a lot, just bring sunscreen and water.

During peak midday heat it's best to cover your head, but at other times a hat isn't strictly necessary thanks to the sea breeze.
