Mercato Beach

#dubaitrip Considering how busy some of the beaches can be in this area, this one is rather pleasant. Parking is a little sporadic but it wasn't difficult to find a convenient spot. The beach has an appox 2k designated jogging track where bikes are not permitted (however this doesn't deter some cyclysts ) but it was pleasant to walk along. It was not at all crowded so you can spend a fairly peaceful few hours there, but take food and drinks with you as the stores, cafés and 'facilities' are a trek if you need them. Swimming is lovely with the sea temperature really nice. The facilities are at the far end of the beach where warm outdoor showers are available along with clean toilets.
