Princess Beach is a shallow Eilat shore reef with easy access.
Princess Beach is a southern Eilat shore reef with a shallow coral band, bridge access, and an easy beginner-friendly profile. The piers and reef edge concentrate the best fish life, so it works as both a relaxed snorkel spot and a simple scuba dive for divers who want clear water and quick shore entry. It is the sort of site that rewards an unhurried beach plan, because the best swimming and diving are close to shore and the access points are part of the experience.
