How strict are beach rules in Sharm El Sheikh hotels: can you access another hotel’s beach, and are swimmers allowed beyond the buoys?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 15 days ago
TL;DR
Beach enforcement in Sharm varies by hotel: some lifeguards strictly stop guests from swimming beyond the buoys, while access to another hotel’s beach or water-slide pool may depend on how strict the security is that day. In Naama Bay, staff also keep an eye on activity near the pier and shoreline.
What the community said
Recent reports suggest that access to Amforas Beach, including the beach area and the pool with slides, is not guaranteed for non-guests. It depends heavily on the security staff at the entrance and beach gate; last season, a guard sometimes let people through, but it was not reliable.

In Naama Bay, travelers report seeing dense schools of fish near the pier and shoreline early in the morning, even before tourists arrive. Because visitors often feed the fish, there may be staff or security around the pier monitoring the area.

At the Palace hotel beach in Sharm, lifeguards may enforce the no-swimming-beyond-buoys rule very strictly, even for confident snorkelers with proper fins, mask, and snorkel. One traveler reported only being able to do longer swims outside the buoys after personally persuading a lifeguard near the end of the trip.
