How to access Naama Bay beach without a hotel in Sharm el-Sheikh?

The public beach in central Naama Bay has a gentle sandy entry into the water, so water shoes are not strictly necessary in the bay itself — though they are still recommended on the beach.

Another public beach option in Naama Bay is Ghadala beach — entry costs 100 EGP. It is a simple sandy beach with relatively calm water. Swimming toward the Novotel side offers good coral.

Access Naama Bay beach through the public beach in the center of the bay — entry costs 10 to 50 EGP (prices may vary). From there you can walk along the shore in either direction; the entire Naama Bay coastline is open except for the Swissôtel's private beach section.

You cannot access the beach directly from the Naama Bay promenade — you must enter through the paid public beach.

The best reef near Naama Bay is located by the Mövenpick hotel — it requires a long swim from the public beach. The rest of the Naama Bay shoreline is not particularly notable for snorkeling.
