Lagada Beach is one of the longest and most impressive shores in southeastern Crete, stretching eastwards from Makry Gialos.

It is renowned for its rugged beauty and the sense of freedom it provides, as its vast length ensures that every visitor can find their own quiet spot.

The shore is covered with sand and fine pebbles, while the waters are pristine, deep, and strike a brilliant blue hue. Due to its size, Lagada is essentially divided into different sections. A large part of the beach is a popular destination for naturists (clothing optional), as the natural landscape and lack of dense development offer the necessary privacy.

The area surrounding the beach is dotted with tamarisk trees providing natural shade, while the nearby hills with typical Cretan vegetation complete the scenery. Access is very easy via the main road, with several paths leading down to the coast. Despite its proximity to local tourist facilities and luxury villas, Lagada remains largely unorganized, preserving an authentic and bohemian character that sets it apart from neighboring beaches.
