Naturist Beach is a private beach known for its naturist culture, where nudity is expected and enforced. It is located near a resort, but is open to the public. The beach is accessible via an access road to Vritomartis Naturist Resort. Before entering the compound, visitors need to turn left and drive along a narrow road, which sometimes does not allow oncoming traffic, to the parking lot at the taverna.
The beach is characterized by its rocky terrain, rather than sandy shores, making beach shoes or good sandals a necessity for visitors. The rocks can be slippery, so caution is advised. The beach also offers a unique underwater landscape, making it a popular spot for snorkeling. The right side of the beach is known for its calm waters, making it an ideal spot for this activity.
Naturist Beach offers amenities such as chairs and umbrellas, which can be rented from the tavern above the beach. It is recommended to arrive by 10:30 during peak season to secure these facilities. Despite its popularity, the beach never feels crowded due to the natural limitation of space and number of chairs available. The beach is frequented by a mix of young and older people, and it is not common to see children there.
The beach also features a tavern that serves drinks on the beach and offers a menu of Greek food. The tavern also provides a free shower and restroom for beachgoers. Parking at the beach is free, with ample space available, although parking on the road might be necessary at times.
Naturist Beach is also known for its natural beauty, with breathtaking views and interesting natural features such as caves and crevices where sea salt naturally collects and dries. The beach is a popular spot for first-time visitors to a naturist beach.
