El Obayed Beach
شاطئ الأبيض
A long white-sand beach on the west coast with shallow, vividly coloured water, known as Paradise Beach, ideal for swimming and family splashing.
El-Obayed Beach lies on the coastline east of Agiba, with fine white sand stretching for several kilometres. The water near the shore is shallow and clear, shading from emerald green to deep blue, which makes it one of the best beaches in Marsa Matruh for a swim. Beach facilities are fewer than in town, and some stretches have resorts and paid areas, so bring your own sun protection and drinking water. A taxi from the city takes about 30 minutes.
