Description

Small cove on the west side of Laganas Bay near Keri/Marathias. Shore is mostly pebbles and small stones; seabed is pebbly with very clear, deep, blue water—good for snorkeling. The beach sits below cliffs and pines, giving partial shelter from winds; sea is generally calm with only modest swell at times. Access is by narrow road to tavern/roadside parking and then a short but steep footpath/descent to the shore (not ideal for limited mobility). Facilities are minimal: a few managed sunbeds/umbrellas in season; no lifeguard and usually no on-beach bars (tavernas are just above/nearby). Notable cautions: steep access path, stony entry (water shoes recommended), water deepens quickly, limited shade and services.
