Elafonissi Beach

Elafonissi Beach has pink coral sand and is listed among the world’s notable beaches by major travel guides. The beach is divided into two parts by water, creating the look of a separate island. It is a Natura 2000 protected area with sand dunes covered in sand lilies and juniper trees. Endangered Caretta-Caretta turtles nest here, along with other rare animals. Visitors are prohibited from removing plants or animals. The beach features white and pinkish sand from broken shells and turquoise waters that resemble Caribbean shores. Near the peninsula’s break point, the water is less than 1 meter deep, forming a lagoon suitable for children. The eastern side next to the lagoon is organized and tends to have more visitors.
