Sporty, sunny Safaga is the Red Sea's most classical and famous windsurfing spot. The large bay is a surfers’ paradise, with its wide sandy beaches with flat water and only occassional swells – and recently has become a favourite of kitesurfers too. Sheltered shallow areas are ideal for beach and water-start training. Perfect wind conditions all year round facilitate boat trips to Tobias Island, where local surf centres take surfers for a day of fun offshore. You will find plenty of variety in Safaga – from the wonderful slalom and freeride area to the swell zone for those seeking special thrills. Many international happenings and competitions are held in Safaga every year. In addition to this surfers’ paradise, the beautiful bay of Safaga offers plenty of other watersports, from catamarans to kayaking, banana rides, snorkelling excursions to the bay’s islands, and much much more. |
