Turtles are frequently spotted near the third pontoon and by the fifth buoy on the left, where there's a sunken pontoon.

At Faraana Heights hotel, 7 turtles were spotted over 6 days in the shallow area on the left side of the beach, between the shore and the reef.

A large manta ray was spotted swimming between the pontoons, and a turtle passed through the same spot the day before — a reliable area for marine life sightings.

Turtles are regularly seen near the Ras El Remal reef; tourists were praised for good behavior — not touching the animal and watching from a few meters away, letting it surface to breathe undisturbed.

In the sea near one hotel, turtles surface daily and then walk along the bottom grazing on seagrass — visible right off the beach without needing a boat trip.
