Hi Dave

This is definetly not a private beach as anyone can use it for a fee of 30 LE as i asked how much it would be if i came and used it.So i know anyone can use it for a fee.


Remember because i live here i go out and about and get my info first hand so i went and asked myself about using this beach.

Are there any public beaches in the Sakalla area along the stretch of road where the Regina Style hotle is (near MacDonalds).

..

there is a public beach between Minamark and Seagull hotel. (Entrance is close to Minamark.) But it is most visited by Egyptians.

hello there,

you can find the location and information about all the public beaches in hurghada on hurghada-information.

yes the elysee beach is private *but nicely done) and belongs to the elysee apartments acroos the road. of course you can buy a daily entrance ticket, but this is true of all the hotel beaches in Hurghada where you can buy tickets ranging from 20-50 LE.

the truly public beaches have free entrance but you pay for a sun lounge.

hope this help

Hi Andy

Just been trying to use this site - nothing obvious about Beach info

Any tips on how to use the site to find location / charges / facilities etc for Public Beaches if you do not have the name of the actual beach.

The search function just brings up all sorts of stuff.

This beach seems to be in 2 parts - very nice and sandy, with a break water giving protection the wind, a more rocky side.

Has 2 or 3 bars / sun beds / chairs / camels / car park - easy access.

Close my development - how lucky is that !!!

Hi y'all,

dave99...the beach you are showing here is in fact not anywhere near the Arabia Hotel but about 1km further north on the Corniche towards El Dahar. This Beach is called Paradise Beach and is between the Sunny Days Palma de Mirette Resort and the Beirut Hotel.

You can find it on our 'Full Screen Google Map' under the 'Others' category as Paradise Beach. On our website you also find a nice 360Degree Panorama Picture of Paradise Beach.

You are right it is a public beach and has been so for more then 5 years, although about 3 years ago the city has rented it to a private company who has started to clean it up and plant some palm trees. There is a big car park for which you have to pay between 20LE and 50LE depending who is sitting at the gate. The same goes for the sun loungers. Drinks are usually warm and the food is so so la la. During the summer month you find a beach disco which attracts a lot of the local boys. There are also camels, horses and donkeys for rent. They guide takes you round the rubbish tip on the other side of the road...very romantic indeed. In my opinion it is clear that Paradise Beach and its infrastructure is designed to be used by locals and not foreigners.

On weekends and public holidays the beach is very crowded with arab families. Since we live in a development just across the street, we have tried a couple of times to use this beach but have given up. We always had a feeling that the locals feel foreigners should not be there.

Clearly if you fancy a nice day at the beach I would always suggest to pay the entrance to one of the Hotel Beaches (I reccomend the Marriot). All in all this will not cost much more than a Public Beach.

Y'all have a great day now....

Hi Andy

You obviously know this beach well, thanks for the info.

I've not been to beach very often, but do know that weekends are popular for beaches everywhere.

The photos would seem to tell a different story about normal usage though given very few people about.
