The beach lies just outside Ierapetra's town centre, on Crete's southern coast. Its sandy shore gives way to a rocky coastline, and the water is clear enough for snorkelling. The seabed is rocky in places, so bathers may prefer footwear when entering the water.

At low tide, natural pools form between the rocks, creating protected swimming areas. These rocky basins offer safer water conditions for all types of swimmers.
