TL;DR
For shore snorkeling in Hurghada, travelers most often point to Zahabia, Equinox Beach and the waters by Arabesque. Zahabia also has a sandy lagoon between Zahabia and Sunny beaches; water shoes are useful at low tide.
The waters by the Arabesque hotel are noted for a varied selection of marine life, making them a good option for spotting and filming fish and other sea creatures close to shore.
Equinox Beach has a round reef with fish around it. Marine life can also sometimes be seen near the kitesurfing area, where there is a patch of seagrass.
Moreno Beach offers a reef and fish for casual snorkeling, although its reef is considered less impressive than Zahabia’s.
Zahabia is described as having one of Hurghada’s better reefs, almost at the shoreline. It combines gentle sandy entry points with coral areas for snorkeling.
Between Zahabia and Sunny beaches, there is a lagoon with a sandy bottom and easily visible corals. At low tide near the wild-beach section, water shoes make it easier to walk and look for marine creatures.
