The Municipal Beach of Rethymno, situated on the magnificent island of Crete, offers a stretch of golden sand along the north coast. Conveniently located close to Rethymno's historical town, it provides a picturesque blend of relaxation and cultural exploration. The beach is vibrant yet tranquil, with activities such as swimming, sunbathing, and beach volleyball available to visitors. Despite its popularity, the beach has fewer amenities, but accessibility options are available for guests with mobility challenges. The beachfront is ideal for leisurely walks and offers stunning views of the Aegean Sea.
The beach is part of Rethymno Bay, which extends for about 13 kilometers, providing an expansive stretch for visitors to enjoy. The area is historically rich, with nearby attractions like Fortezza Castle and the Rethymnon Venetian Port adding to its appeal.
As a nesting site for the loggerhead sea turtle (Carretta carretta), certain areas are protected, making it a unique and environmentally significant location.
