    Stone Beach in Hurghada is one of those easy-going spots, just a short boat ride out. You’ll find a gentle slope here, nothing too dramatic, but it’s a good place to unwind after a deeper dive or for a relaxed afternoon. We’ve had some nice encounters with Sleek Unicornfish cruising past, and the Bicolour and Bullethead Parrotfish are always busy on the corals. Keep an eye out for Banded Blennies popping their heads out, they’re quite common here. It’s a solid pick for a second dive of the day, or for newer divers looking to build some confidence without strong currents.
