The beach is strewn with small pebbles and the azure waters are pristine. Trees and tamarisk bushes line the coast, providing ample natural shade. Only the southern part of the beach is partly organized.

If you walk up a rocky trail on the Korakas promontory, you will also find another completely secluded beach called Platanakia. A few kilometers south of Sfinari stretches the famous Elafonisi Beach, with its crystalline waters and exotic beauty.
