Do you need reef shoes at hotel beaches with coral reefs in Egypt, such as Monte Carlo Sharm Resort?

TL;DR
Reef shoes are often not essential if you enter from a jetty and swim straight into deep water. They can still be useful on small shallow beach sections, but many travelers manage without them or just use Crocs.
What the community said
Travelers choose Monte Carlo Sharm Resort for its good house reef and a more reasonable price compared with some pricier resorts in the same category.

If you normally skip the shoreline entry and swim straight into deeper water, reef shoes are usually unnecessary. Some travelers stop bringing special water shoes on repeat trips for this reason.

On a small beach section near the reef, protective footwear can help, but many travelers just use regular Crocs for the short walk through shallow water.

Even when there is low tide, it is not always severe enough to make reef shoes necessary. In some reports, the tide went out, but not enough to cause major difficulty.
