Is Sindbad Beach in Sharm El Sheikh good for snorkeling, and should you bring your own mask?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 11 days ago
TL;DR
Yes — travelers recommend the paid Sindbad Beach for its excellent house reef. Entry is about $4, there’s a café on-site, but it’s best to bring your own towel and snorkeling mask because renting one may be difficult or overpriced.

You should also bring your own snorkeling mask. Travelers report that beach rental can be hard to find, and if available, it may be expensive.

Sindbad Beach has a café selling food and drinks, so it works well for a longer beach and snorkeling stop without needing to bring everything yourself.

If you want to take home sea-themed souvenirs, purchased processed shells are generally considered acceptable. Raw shells collected directly from the beach are not recommended for export.
