Last summer I spent a few hours at this beach. Make sure you have some type of thongs or swimmers shoes on your feet as it is initially quite rocky when you get into the water. Once you get past the rocky part, the water is quite lovely and clear. The "sandy beach area" is long and curving but only about 15 feet wide. Very quiet beach compared to Laganas but not as spectacular.

The first time I saw this beach it took my breath away. It is in a spectacular setting. The water is crystal clear and you can walk unbelieveably far out before you you would go underwater. They do have paddle boats they rent. What I loved best was getting on a plastic raft and just floating away. The beach is so huge that it never felt crowded to me, even if there were hundreds of people in the water. Frankly, I liked that they didn't have the motorized jet skis as I think it would have not only taken something away from that beautiful beach but it would not be as safe for swimmers or people snorkeling.

Great beach! On the day I went, very calm water. Very clean with a deep sandy area. Not crowded. Crystal clear waters. No bathrooms, though. It is about 1/2 hour car ride from Laganas.

Not much of a "beach" area -- more pebbles than sand. The water was crystal clear but quite cold.

Kalamaki Beach is the same body of water as Laganas -- it is about two miles away. It seems like people are migrating from Laganas to Kalamaki Beach because of the previous being so crowded. But, unfortunately, this beach is not as clean as it was last year as more people are using it. The cigarette butts, soda cans, potato chip bags, etc. were almost as bad as Laganas. The water itself, though, is lovely -- crystal clear and warm.
