Rak Beach, Ras al-Khaimah, United Arab Emirates
Luckily, Ras Al-Khaimah has plenty to offer if you’ve had enough of museums. The shoreline here is all backed by luxury resorts, and most will allow non-guests to use their facilities with a day pass. The beach has a swath of golden-toned sand and is well cared for. Due to the fact that the resorts all run their patch of beach, facilities are excellent, with sun loungers, sun shades, cafes, freshwater showers, and pretty much everything you need for a day of topping up your tan. Various water sports are also on offer, including kayak hire and jet-skis.
