Beacon Rock is an intermediate dive site in the Strait of Gubal, Egypt's Red Sea, located at a rocky outcrop marked by a navigation beacon. The rock rises from deep water, its walls covered in vibrant soft corals and gorgonians. Strong currents sweep the strait, attracting pelagic species including grey reef sharks, tuna, and eagle rays. The remote location means pristine conditions with minimal diver impact. Beacon Rock offers serious Red Sea diving for those willing to make the longer boat journey from Hurghada.
