Gorgeous beach! No problem with plastic/ rubbish - like some of the below reviews. Coming in October - it was still busy from 10am but no problem getting the beds etc. 28degrees in October! It was beautiful. With paying 20 euros for sunbed/ umbrella etc.

Beautiful large beach. Lots of fun waves. A bit dirty from bedrees. The beach is very shallow even with the waves coming -that was wonderful- Tent for 20€ and they serve cold drinks upon ordering but you can bring your own. There is parking and also up by the road. It's an hour from Irakleo, but beautiful road scenery. There is a small cafe on top of the beach for sandwiches and ice cream. And toilets and changing rooms. We enjoyed swinging with the waves. Crowded at 12 pm. Go early because by 11 am all the tents are gone and people started to wait for others to leave.

Water was lovely and clear, warm, with sandy bottom and fun waves. Crystal clear water and very clean on the day we went. We visited past 4 o clock when it was still 30 degrees and the beach was clearing of visitors, so it wasn't too crowded. You get the sun on the beach all the way into the eve as doesn't disappear behind mountains on this side of the peninsula. Perfect last day of the holiday

This beach is located in a nice small village, easily accessible if a little hilly. The beach itself is beautiful and sandy but unfortunately there is a significant amount of plastic in certain areas floating in the water. we found that we were fighting off plastic strips and looking into the water it is simply floating everywhere. Parasols are also quite pricy at 25 euros, which considering others around is quite a lot. Almyros beach is just 10 euros. Personally I would go the extra distance and head to something like Vai beach which has some more established facilities, or Almyros beach which is close to Voulisma

This beach is really nice with fine sand and very clear water. The downside is that you are toe to toe with everyone else which gives you the Benidorm feel. We left after 30 mins and went to Troulos Beach 20 mins up the road which was a lot more like traditional Greece. The cafe was also very expensive judging by some of their prices. Cashing in on a captive audience I reckon.

We were recommended this beach by our nearby Airbnb hostess and it was really stunning. We went twice and both times managed to get sun beds. From the left side (facing the beach and past Macrame), there are some rocks that you can easily snorkel around, even with your kids. I thought this was a perfect place for children to snorkel if the water is calm and a great way to introduce them to it. I’ve shared a photo pointing to the location. The only major disappointment is that there is a LOT of plastic floating around. Even others were complaining about this. I found the beach itself to be clean, but was so surprised about the water because it’s so clear. I collected what was in my hand with 5 minutes of swimming. If people went out with small fishing nets, they would unfortunately catch a lot. I haven’t noticed any recycling in Crete and I find that amazing with all of the water bottle consumption. Maybe a start would be at the beautiful beach,

This is one of the most beautiful beaches one can find. The water is turquoise, blue, green, you name it. It’s a full pallet of colors. The services on the beach are fine as in others, renting two chairs and an umbrella for €25 and service that includes drinks and food. Clean toilets. I’ve read 2 critics here. One about the beach being crowded. Well, this goes without saying that such a beautiful beach will be crowded at the peak of the season or during weekends. We visited off peak, at the end of August on a Wednesday and it was perfectly fine. Of course there were many people, but it was not crowded.. I can imagine it being super crowded on peak season or during weekends so you might want to avoid that. As far as the water being dirty with plastic, I didn’t really see that, the water was pretty clean. Perfect area for snorkeling water sports available as well. The fact that this is a public beach and yet someone is responding to all the reviews just shows how much the locals care about this beach. And while you are reading this review Mr. local, I have one advice for you. I think you should stop handing out drinking straws wrapped in plastic. People throw away that plastic and that’s a major source of pollution. Just give the straws unwrapped.

A great big beach, with sunbeds and also towel spots. The water is splendid, and the sand one of the cleanest and softest that I ever saw. There are free parking spaces and also a shop. You also have change cabin and showers.

We visited after a recommendation from a waiter in Plaka. It’s a stunning setting for a beach. We arrived after our visit to Spinalonga so early afternoon. There were no loungers available, so we decided on the private beach club right there. It wasn’t overly expensive and we were able to enjoy the beach in comfort. Highly recommend a visit to enjoy this beautiful beach.

This beach was a very good surprise to me with nice sand, very clear warm water, not noisy although it was very busy due to being such a great beach. The sunbeds and umbrellas are expensive for the quality of service provided. The food was at the same level of the beach itself. Something clearly to improve.
