Alona Beach is located in the Xerokampos area, in southeastern Crete, within the Lasithi region, and is considered one of the most distinctive beaches of the area.

It is formed within an open bay with gentle terrain, offering a calmer landscape compared to the more rugged nearby coasts.

Access is relatively easy, via a dirt road that leads close to the shoreline, making it more accessible than other remote beaches in the region.

The beach is known for its sandy shoreline and shallow, clear waters, with characteristic turquoise hues. A notable feature of the area is the presence of sea daffodils (Pancratium maritimum), which grow on the sand during the summer months and are a typical element of Mediterranean coastal ecosystems.

The natural formation of the bay provides some protection from the winds, while the surrounding landscape remains open, with low vegetation and minimal human intervention.

There are no organized facilities, but the combination of easy access and favorable swimming conditions makes it one of the more visited beaches in Xerokampos.

Alona is part of a wider coastal zone known for its clear waters and varied landscapes, offering a balance between natural beauty and accessibility.
