Wonderful Beach very relaxing , a place of zen and to unwind. Nature is calling you here. Theres a lot of hiking trails and history. A must see because its a place where its roots havent changed. So you can get a feel of how it was many years ago by visiting this very special beach.

The road to the beach is quite winding and narrow, but it's worth it when you get there - it's a dream!

This beach is quite pleasant, though it is not well-maintained and there are no nearby shops or eateries. Access is via a dirt road.

This beach in Andros is one of the best around. The dirt road leading to it is passable, and some parts have been paved with cement, so you can drive there with a bit of caution. Even with strong winds, the sea is crystal clear and peaceful, with only the sound of waves and cicadas.
