TL;DR
For easy swimming, travelers recommend the beach in the sheltered bay by the nearby 3-star hotel, where the water feels warmer and even guests from 5-star properties come to swim. For coral snorkeling, the wild beach behind The V is the main tip; tourists walk there and divers also come by boat, while the seafront itself works well for photos.
There's a scenic swimming route: swim from West beach (near the buoys) along the shore to the end of The V beach — the path is beautiful, and it's especially nice right where the "Beach" section begins.
For great photos and video, walk past the spot where boats depart for the villas — there's a staircase there that's a great photo/video spot.
One traveler took a taxi to a beach further away near Sunrise Remal, where boats bring people specifically for snorkeling — lots of swimmers, nice water, but it's quite a distance to get there.
For coral snorkeling, travelers recommend the wild beach behind The V. People go there specifically for the reef, and divers also arrive there by boat, so it is considered more of a snorkeling spot than just a regular swim beach.
For regular swimming, the beach by the neighboring 3-star hotel gets strong reviews: travelers say guests from nearby 5-star hotels come there to swim. It reportedly has the same style of sun umbrellas and windbreak screens as other equipped hotel beaches.
The beach in this bay is described as having warmer water, likely because of its sheltered location. If your priority is comfortable swimming with less wind and warmer sea conditions, the bay section is the better choice.
For good photos, travelers suggest simply walking down to the sea: the beach itself gives nice shots, especially along the open shoreline. It is more of a natural photo walk than a separate paid photo location.
