A recent traveler report says they were not allowed onto Siwa Spit from the beach side because a guard was posted in the corner of the beach area. In practice, that means shore access may be blocked.

The same report suggests that if you really want to reach Siwa Spit, approaching from the sea may be the only workable option. There is no confirmed land entry, but access by water is mentioned as the possible route.
