This amazing, beautiful beach is right at the end of the Vasilikos peninsula at its southern most tip. It is a highly protected beach for the Caretta Caretta turtles, which nest here.
No tavernas or snack bars are allowed on the beach, though there is an absolutely awful one on the road above (unless you like processed cheese and turkey sandwiches or fatty, gristly burgers, in which case, it's great...)
You can only go on the beach between sunrise and sunset - and even then you will see many places where nests are protected by a small wooden structures and fencing.
The sand here is smooth and flat and the water gently shelving, shallow for quite a long way.
No water sports are allowed here,so it remains peaceful and quiet, though very popular since it is so beautiful.
