Beach characteristics
Overview
Princess Beach south of Eilat is listed for permissive clothing-optional use rather than formal naturist designation. This quiet pebbly beach faces clear coastal water on the Gulf of Aqaba and is associated with swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling offshore. The shoreline remains natural and undeveloped, with pebbles, rocks, and very little shade across the open ground. Visitors should arrive self-sufficient, carrying water, sun protection, and footwear for walking and sea entry. Numbers are usually low, so keeping distance from others is generally straightforward. The setting suits short, quiet stays rather than serviced beach days, and visitors are expected to carry out all waste.
Visiting the beach
Princess Beach lies along the southern Eilat coast and is reached on foot from the coastal road area. Access is informal and open, without gated entry, followed by natural pebbly ground down to the water. Roadside parking is reported nearby, and local buses serve the broader coastal road, but the final section is a walk over uneven ground. There are no confirmed toilets, showers, rentals, shade structures, or food outlets at this section, so bring drinking water, food, sun protection, and anything needed for swimming or snorkeling. The surface is pebble with rocky sections both on shore and at the water entry. Footwear helps for walking and entering the sea, especially where stones shift underfoot. Water is generally clear and associated with snorkeling over nearby reef formations, while mornings often bring milder sun and calmer conditions for swimming and floating. The Eilat area stays warm and dry for much of the year, with very hot summers and mild winters. Spring and autumn are generally more comfortable for extended beach time, although midday sun remains strong and shade remains limited. Because the beach is quiet and relatively secluded, visits are commonly short stays of a few hours for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling. There is no confirmed lifeguard service, admission fee, or restricted opening hours, and the shoreline appears openly accessible throughout the day. Take care on rocks and pebbles, avoid touching reef structures, and carry out all waste. Visitors should also allow extra time for the walk back to the road, keep swimwear accessible, and check local conditions before entering the water.

Facilities
Naturist rules
Naturist use at Princess Beach is reported as permissive rather than officially designated, so discreet and respectful behavior matters. Set up with generous space from others and keep clothing-optional practice to the quieter natural section away from paths and through traffic. Avoid staring, photography of other people, and loud behavior that carries across the small shore. Keep swimwear handy for walking to and from the area or when other beach users, walkers, or snorkelers are nearby. Speak quietly, ask before approaching occupied spots, and do not leave belongings spread across shared entry points. Leave no trace, carry out all rubbish, and protect the marine environment by avoiding contact with reef structures and rocky seabed.
Visitor overview
Princess Beach suits self-sufficient visitors seeking a quiet pebbly shore for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. Facilities are absent, shade is limited, and entry is stony, so it is less convenient for small children or visitors needing accessible paths. Low crowds, clear water, and open sun exposure define the experience, with natural pebbles and rocks rather than groomed sand. The informal access and uneven ground require steady footing and planned supplies. Bring supplies, footwear, and sun protection, allow time for the walk from the road, and expect a simple natural setting without services, rentals, or lifeguard cover. Visits are commonly short stays of a few hours.
