Sharks Bay
خليج القرش
A resort bay north of Naama Bay where coral reef drop-offs lie right off the shore, and you can snorkel among schools of fish by entering the water from the jetty.
Sharks Bay is a resort bay in northern Sharm. Its name comes from the reef sharks often seen in earlier years, and today it is known for its shallow reefs and steep drop-offs. From the beach jetty, the coral cliffs are only a few meters away, with plenty of parrotfish, lionfish and butterflyfish, making it ideal for snorkeling and beginner shore diving. Most beaches belong to hotels, but non-guests can buy day passes that include sun loungers. It is about 10 minutes by car from the airport. Wear reef-safe protective shoes and do not step on the coral.
