About Dolphin Reef
Dolphin Reef is a sheltered shore-entry marine park in Eilat where the terrain is a shallow sea-pen with a gentle slope, calm water, and easy access from the beach. It is best known for close dolphin encounters, but it also works well for relaxed snorkeling and introductory diving among angelfish, cuttlefish, and rays rather than for chasing depth or current.
