MARSA MATRUH
Gharam Beach

Gharam Beach, Marsa Matruh, Egypt

Your best chance of a good swim is clearly from Gharam Beach, the largest of Marsa's recommended beaches. Despite being 17 kilometres out of town, it is acutally facing town, occupying the last stretch of land around the lagoon before it opens up to the great sea.
The beach swings a couple of times, before houses take over, and at times waves come in hard on its shores. Even when it becomes crowded during the height of the summer season, there should be space left for you here.
