The Sandy Beach on the western side of the peninsula has a lovely sand, is well stocked with beach umbrellas and some bars. It provides fabulous safe bathing, and is well used by families. A treeline at the top of the beach provides extra shade. Watch out for the wind though!
The Rocky Beach on the east side is much smaller but has a very nice restaurant, The Wave, just next to it.
Catch a ferry, west to Elaphonisi or east to Chora Shakia.
