Beaches & Islands
Spend all day every day of your holiday on El Gouna's beaches and you will
never have to stay on the same beach twice! Have drinks and treats delivered
right to your chair at your hotel beach, enjoy cold refreshments and groove
to music overlooking wild mangroves or pack your own food and drinks and
head to the white sands and glorious isolation of El Gouna's many nearby
deserted islands.
Zeytuna Beach
Lively and beautiful, Zeytuna Beach is located on its own island surrounded
by the sea and lagoons. A 400m jetty extending into the sea provides access
to deeper water and the coral reef plateau. Beach services include towels,
drinks and food, bar offering drinks and a light menu, bathrooms and fresh
showers. Enjoy beach volleyball, snorkeling, football, dancing lessons and
more. Access: Shuttle boat from Downtown and Sultan Bey, or walking via
bridges from the Sheraton and Hill
Mangroovy
Beach
Located just north of the Abu Tig Marina, Mangroovy Beach has become
internationally known as the Red Sea's best spot for kite-surfing. Indulge
in this new water sport or simply soak up the sun while enjoying the view.
Relax under thatched roofs as waiters bring drinks and food to your sun-bed.

and soccer. Look out for beach parties and barbeques in summertime! Beach

Tawila
Island
Enjoy
the secluded beach at Tawila, just over an hour from
El Gouna, where you can take a long walk on sparkling white sandy beaches
and revel in the island's natural beauty or take a swim in its clear water.
The boat ride itself is a joy and spotting dolphins is very common. Charter
boats will arrange food and drinks on the beach.
Gobal Island
A little over
two hours away, this gorgeous island offers breathtaking snorkeling from the
uninhabited sandy beaches. Connoisseurs hail Gobal as one of the most
beautiful islands ever! Enjoy lunch on the beach and own an island for a
day.

maintained true to its natural environment while making it the only island
with services. A beach restaurant serves up great grilled platters, seafood,
and pizza while you relax on the beach with a hip mix of backdrop music,

hour from El Gouna.
