Soak up the sun at the beach at JBR
Dubai has an abundance of beaches but many of them are connected to Hotels. The beach at Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) is one Dubai's most popular beaches and the good news is it's complete free. Thanks to recent developments at the The Walk at JBR this beach is now equipped with public showers and toilets.

Walk around the Dubai Marina
Keeping fit is a favourite pastime of many Dubai residents but gym fees can be expensive. In the cooler months get your trainers on, get outdoors and take a leisurely stroll, power walk or jog around the Dubai Marina.

Relax at Al Safa Park
Al Safa Park is located in the heart of Dubai. Its the perfect place for families, couples and friends offering picnic, BBQ and kids play areas to mingle and relax. Its not technically "free" as there is a 3 dirham (48p) admission charge but it is well worth it.
