Jazz Hotel Hurghada beach review — sandy or rocky entry, how far to swim to deep water?

Between the Jazz Hotel beach and the neighbouring Gafi beach there are two buoyed-off zones for motorboats and water activities, making it practically impossible to swim between the beaches safely. The entry from the Jazz side is very awkward — dead coral and rocks — and not worth the effort.

The Jazz Hotel beach has a rocky entry into the water, not a sandy one. Depth increases gradually; it's best to check exact distances on arrival.

Sunny Beach in Hurghada is surrounded by sea on three sides, giving an open feel. Those looking for sandy beaches should consider other options.

The Sphinx beach area in Hurghada features an enclosed lagoon with rocks — suitable for snorkeling but not for sandy swimming.

For a sandy beach, Sahl Hasheesh is worth considering — it's located about 18–20 km south of central Hurghada.
