Charalambos beach (Crete island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable.

This spot is really nice and has a mix of sand and fine pebbles. It's on the smaller side and doesn't have any amenities, but it's easily accessible and not too crowded since it's not widely known.
