Best snorkeling spots accessible from the beach in Sharm el-Sheikh
Based on 1 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 1 day ago
TL;DR
The Mövenpick hotel in Sharm has three beaches with reef access and sandy entry — the rightmost beach is the best. For more impressive snorkeling, Marsa Mubarak offers turtles and dugongs.
What the community said
Swimming right from the Mövenpick beaches reveals good coral and diverse fish. It's a solid shore-snorkeling option, though it pales in comparison to Marsa Mubarak.

Mövenpick in Sharm el-Sheikh is a great pick for reef lovers: it has coral zones, coral heads (bommies), and a sandy beach entry. Of the hotel's three beaches, the rightmost one (facing the sea) is the best. Naama Bay is within walking distance.

For the most memorable snorkeling in the area, head to Marsa Mubarak where you can encounter sea turtles and dugongs. After that, standard Sharm reefs feel underwhelming.
