History
La Mer is part of Dubai’s 21st-century coastal expansion by Meraas, transforming reclaimed shoreline into public waterfront with modern leisure facilities.
Conservation

Time your paddle
Book early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak heat and stronger onshore winds; afternoons can get choppier.
Bring sun protection
Even on overcast days UV is strong—use a wide-brim hat, long-sleeve UV shirt, and reef-safe sunscreen.
Secure valuables
Use a waterproof pouch or leave valuables onshore; rentals often have limited dry storage.
Know zone boundaries
Stay within marked activity areas and avoid swimming lanes and boat channels for safety.
Life jacket
Provided by most rentals but wear one for safety and buoyancy.
Waterproof phone pouch
Protects your phone and documents from splashes and accidental submersion.
Sun-protective clothing
Lightweight, long-sleeve UV shirts reduce sun exposure during open-water paddling.
