Which hotel area in Sharm El Sheikh has a good sandy beach entry (not a pontoon)?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 7 days ago
TL;DR
Naama Bay is a popular pick for calmer water and less wind; some hotels there (like the East/Beach property) have a sandy, gradually deepening entry instead of a pontoon, which suits travelers who prefer to wade in slowly.
