How crowded are the beaches in Sharm El Sheikh and what's the best time to swim?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 3 days ago
TL;DR
Sea water level is higher in the morning than in the afternoon. Hotel beaches can have up to 30% local (non-guest) visitors, but staff monitor this so loungers stay dry and available.

About 30% of beachgoers at the hotel beach are local residents, not guests. They sometimes try to skip queues, but staff stop them. Loungers stay dry, and picking a spot on the third floor keeps you away from the crowd.

Confirmed over three separate trips: the sea water level is higher in the morning than in the afternoon, so plan swimming for earlier in the day.
