Hi Rebecca,
Glad you like it. I personally investigate if you want to call it that, all the beaches on the blog except for the Malibu entry by Laura Hernandez. It’s been fun writing it up along with all the other things that need to get done.

Comment on We’re off to the Red Sea or more correctly the Reed Sea and Eilat by elledruskin

Glad to take you along on the trip! It is a fun place to go and it was nice enjoying that trip to Petra with my son. It’s a trip we remember together with great memories. My nephew was also down there while we were staying although he did not come to Petra with us and my son’s best friend and his family were also in Eilat at the time. Suffice to say, the boys were out until all hours at night, the deal being, they had to have dinner with me and then could do what they wanted. As far as I know, Eilat is pretty safe so I didn’t worry about them much like I might have in some other places.

Elle, I have never been anywhere near the place you describe and your description made me want to go. From your words I was really there. So thank you for bringing me to Eilat and telling so much about it. Great post!

Glad you are enjoying the blog. I’ve gotten a bit sidetracked with editing and proofing upcoming books but there will be more beach entries so enjoy the trip with me!

Yes, a camera for underwater use is a good idea. The water is shallow enough for children, although kids should always be supervised. I hadn’t been snorkeling in years but after a few minutes it came back to me and really is not hard. Definitely pack sunscreen because you can forget how much sun you get with that sort of activity, especially on the surface of the water, and yes, you can dehydrate easily.
The news says some big swells are due in on the North Shore, so it remains to be seen if a big surf competition will go ahead. I would love to go but it takes forward planning–parking is jammed and limited and traffic backs up for miles. Still, have to wait and see.
Locals would consider staying overnight although Mainlanders would consider the trip to the North Shore a small one. Staying overnight is possible if a place is available and not likely to be honest, or if so, very expensive, but the “coconut wireless” here often reveals someone who knows someone who has a place up there so better start checking that out.

Yes, I’ve been there and thought it was great, and your cautions are right on! I don’t mind the protections/control of visitors to this spot. I think the shallow water is a plus for beginers, and if you’ve never tried snorkeling, this is an excellent spot to teach yourself! And bring an “underwater” disposable camera to take some shots for yourself!
