Where is the pontoon sea entry by the lagoon in Egypt, and do you need water shoes there?

The latest tip says the sea entry is about a 7-minute walk, and reef shoes are recommended for the approach. The swim area is easy to use because the depth increases gradually, so you can follow the edge and still stand up if needed.

A clear landmark: when facing the lagoon, walk all the way to the left. At the end, you’ll find a stretch of open sea and the pontoon used for swimming and fish watching.

For footwear, the practical advice is to wear water shoes until you reach the pontoon and remove them before swimming. Travelers specifically ask about this because the approach is easier in shoes, even if swimming without them feels more comfortable.
