There are some wonderful coral reefs off Port Sudan, but the only way to get to them is to hire a boat.
When we went , it was because it was a bit windy and the boat we found had had a cancellation because of the weather. Since it would not be a full day's rental we managed to bargain and get a reasonable rent. there were 6 of us and we were given a meal on the way out to the reefs. Not everyone ate as two of the group were feeling sea sick. Once you reach the reefs the water is calm and clear, and the coral is brilliant. In shallow water be careful not to put your feet on the bottom as there are some creatures that could give a painful sting [stone fish?].

I did not take the underwater pictures myself.

Being a port, Port Sudan is by the sea, so of course the big attraction here is the sea. People talk endlessly of how beautiful the beach is (you might have guessed that beautiful is the adjective of choice for most Sudanese), but I don't think they have a clue what a beach really is. The "beach" in this case is a concrete promenade next to the port...there are one or two cafes and a swimming pool, and some nice views of huge ships in the port, but you certainly cannot sunbathe or go for a dip. The posh hotels (like the Hilton, for instance) are located in this area, so it is the place to be seen, but really there isn't much here.
