Beaches in Sharm El Sheikh are pristine and plentiful. Most Sharm El Sheikh hotels usually have their own private beaches exclusively available to hotel guests. Activities available on the beach include volleyball and other organised sports or games. Many Sharm El Sheikh hotels also feature beachside bars and cafes or restaurants serving anything from light snacks to full meals. Sharm El Sheikh is also a top Red Sea destination for wind and kitesurfing. Kitesurfers usually head away from the crowds to the more chilled end of Sharm in Nabq with just a few bars and restaurants and a long golden sand beach, although it’s great to have the diverse night life of Sharm El Sheikh so close to hand!
The kite zone is huge so it’s never too crowded despite growing in popularity with those who want to mix up Freestyle with Waveriding. Wind patterns here are different to the Hurghada side of Egypt in that the winter winds are stronger and last pretty much all day, while the summer winds start early and finish early as the day gets hotter and kills the wind. Hotels and resorts in Sharm El Sheikh also offer a large choice of more relaxed beach and watersports activities, from banana rides to excursions to the awesome Ras Mohammed National Park. And even if you are a non-diver, you can still enjoy the sights of the underwater world of the Red Sea by booking a trip on a glass-bottomed boat.
