About
Exotic beaches with white sand and turquoise waters, reminding of the Caribbean, are formed on either side of the peninsula. The sand is pinkish in many places, taking its color from thousands of broken shells.
This is an ideal location for beginners since the calm and clear waters boost their confidence. We start from Elafonissi and paddle towards Kedrodasos. It is a very nice beach with white sand and some smooth and flat rocks in places.
Recommended for people with previous SUP experience in long-distance and the open sea.
