Beaches of Sharm el-Mayi
Another feature that attracts tourists to Sharm el-Mayu is the sandy beaches. The sand is dense, entering the water in most cases is just perfect. It's hard to get hurt about rocks or corals, step on the sea urchin. Of course, when you first enter the water on any beach you need to be cautious, but in Sharm el-Maya Bay the hazards are minimized.
In total there are 26 beaches, each of which is run by a hotel. Some of them are trying to make a paid (about US $ 4) entrance for those who do not live in a hotel that follows the territory. From the hotels not the first line to the beaches there are buses. Their schedule and price depends on the class of the hotel and the type of the chosen tour. Somewhere they are free for hotel guests, but you have to go by taxi, since the schedule is very inconvenient or the buses are too small.
In general, the beaches are very good, broad, clean, equipped with everything necessary. After the incident with the sharks on the "most essential" list, many hotels added a tower with the attendant, vigilantly looking out through the binoculars the danger from the sea. Usually this precaution is unnecessary, since there is very little fish near Sharm el-Mayi beaches. Bathing here is very good for families with children: calmly, the sea is warm, you can run into the water with a screech, climbing a cloud of spray.
If you really want to admire sea life, it can be done with pontoons, which are available on several beaches. In addition, adults and active people often go for this spectacle to the wild beach, to the left, towards Ras Mohammed. There for a comfortable swimming, rubber slippers will be needed, so as not to cut yourself against corals. Come there better in the afternoon, after 15.00, so that out of those places had time to leave the tourists.
