A boat-only cove under white pumice cliffs where the surrounding rocks form underwater caves, best explored early before the tour boats arrive.
Practical
Coordinates: a water point just off the White Beach position in this file (approx). YachtCharterFleet: very clear water with abundant marine life, rock formations forming underwater caves, faces west for sunset. Snorkel Around the World: reached by boat only, typically from Perissa or Akrotiri; quieter than Red Beach but small and busy in peak season. Sailingissues: reefs and offshore rocks, so anchor off in light weather with a trip line and land by dinghy. Kambia, between Red and White beaches, has a small pier with a ladder for easy entry (Snorkel Around the World).
