TL;DR

Nabq Bay can be difficult for swimming directly from the shore, so a working pier is often essential for deeper-water swimming and snorkeling. If the pier is under repair, sea access may be limited despite the warm water.

What the community said

At one hotel, pier repairs were the main drawback: travelers who want to swim in deep water may find their beach time significantly limited. Confirm that the pier is open before booking.
