Exception Beach Locations in Egypt With a few exceptions, like the flour-fine sands of Magawish Beach or the secluded fringes of other offshore islands, Hurghada's beaches are coarser and less attractive than Sharm's. Most of them are carved up between hotels or privatized with an entrance fee for visitors, but they have excellent facilities including beach bars and showers. Windsurfing thrives on Hurghada's shores, which are often breezier than in Sharm. Other activities, such as pedalo and glass-bottom boat rides, are readily available. The coral reefs in this part of the Red Sea tend to cluster around the islands, making them difficult for snorkelers to reach from the shoreline. However, several dive centres run trips out to the islands that cater to snorkelers as well as scuba divers. Like Sharm, the diving around Hurghada is considered world-class with a vast array of corals and marine life, including sea turtles and rays.
