Eilat's Coral Beach

This marine nature reserve is located on the shores of the Red Sea. It contains the northernmost shallow-water coral reef in the world, allowing visitors to observe coral formations and various species of marine life directly along the coastline.

Getting There

The reserve is accessible from the city centre of the city via local taxi or public transport. The trip typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes depending on traffic conditions.

Duration of Visit

Visitors generally spend between 2 and 4 hours at the site, depending on whether they are walking the shoreline or engaging in snorkeling to view the reef.

When to Visit

Morning visits are recommended to avoid the peak midday heat and to take advantage of clearer water visibility. The area can become crowded during weekends and public holidays. Avoid visiting during extreme heatwaves for safety reasons.

Nearby Attractions

  • Coral World Underwater Observatory: 0.6km
  • Eilat Light: 1.1km
