REVIEWS OF HOTEL EXECUTIVE CLUB LOUNGES, KIDS CLUBS AND MORE.
October is a transition month in the UAE. The scorching summer heat begins to fade, the humidity eases, and the cooler winter season slowly approaches. This makes it one of the best times to be outdoors in Dubai. It is the best time to enjoy beach days without the overwhelming heat of July and August.
October in Dubai has just the right balance. The days are warm, but not as hot as the peak summer months when the heat can feel too much and the evenings are cool enough for a pleasant walk by the sea or a relaxed dinner outdoors.
The sea is also warm from the summer heat. The water feels gentle and inviting, no shock of cold water and shivers. It is almost like stepping into a big heated pool.
If you are travelling with children, October is one of the best months to enjoy safe family swimming. The sea is calm and gentle, making it easy for kids to splash around without strong waves.
The sand is warm but not burning hot, so little feet can play and run without discomfort. And many beaches also have shallow areas where children can enter the water, giving parents extra peace of mind.
Public beaches in Dubai are well looked after, with clean facilities, showers, and shaded spots. Places like Jumeirah Beach, Kite Beach, and La Mer are especially popular for families because they also have open spaces for playing and plenty of food and drink options nearby.
For those staying at hotels, private beaches are another great choice. These areas are usually less crowded, which means fewer disturbances and a calmer atmosphere, perfect for younger children or those who prefer a slower, more relaxed experience. Many hotels even provide extra amenities such as loungers, beach toys, and kids’ clubs, making it even more enjoyable.
Dubai’s beaches are carefully monitored to keep swimmers safe. Lifeguards are always on duty during the day, and a flag system is used to show the sea conditions. A green flag means it is safe to swim, while a yellow flag means to be careful. Red means no swimming, and purple warns of jellyfish or other marine life. Paying attention to these signals and following lifeguard guidelines is important for safety.
It is also important to come prepared. Bring your sunscreen to protect against the strong sun, as well as hats and sunglasses. Light clothing can also help keep you cool. And, don't forget to stay hydrated. Always carry a bottle of water. Some people also find swim shoes useful for rocky areas or hot sand, and waterproof pouches are handy for keeping valuables safe.
With these simple tips, you will be ready to enjoy your swim without any worries.
