Are hotel beaches in Sharm El Sheikh safe (corals, outsiders on the beach)?

Attempts to restrict beach access have recurred for several years (seen in both 2024 and 2025) and usually resolve on their own within about 2 days. Tip: just walk to the neighboring beach as usual and act like you don't understand what security is asking — many guests do this.

Some beaches occasionally get crowded by groups from neighboring hotels — security at both properties tends to react the same passive way. This lasted a couple of days in June, but was resolved by early July.

At one hotel's new beach area, a child badly cut their foot on coral (needed stitches) — bar staff confirmed such incidents happen. Wear coral/water shoes when entering the water and watch that kids don't take them off.

On some hotel beaches you may encounter local families who aren't actual hotel guests — this can feel unsettling, especially for parents traveling with kids.
