CORAL BEACH RESERVE

The Eilat coral reef stretches for over 1 km along the western coast of the Gulf. It is a natural underwater reserve for around a hundred species of coral, as well as numerous multicolored fish. The water is crystal-clear, and coral and fish are perfectly visible at shallow depths. You don't need a tank - just a mask, snorkel and flippers ("snorkeling"). If you haven't brought your own, you can rent them on site. Caution: avoid contact with the coral, and don't dive barefoot: the coral cuts.
