White Beach is a beautiful beach located in Santorini, known for its distinctive white color and green hues due to the presence of copper minerals. The beach is quite small, which can make it challenging to secure a cabana or sun lounger during peak times. The beach is pebbled, so visitors are advised to bring beach shoes or flip flops for comfort.
The beach is unique in that it cannot be reached by car, scooter, or foot, but only by boat from Akrotiri. The boat service operates every 30 minutes and costs around €15 per person. The boat does not stop close to the shore, so visitors should be prepared to walk through waist-high water, which can be choppy and potentially difficult for young children or those with mobility issues.
White Beach is close to the Red Beach and the Black Beach, and visitors often take the opportunity to visit all three during their trip. The beach is often quiet and offers a pristine, untouched environment for visitors to enjoy. However, there are no restaurants or shops on the beach, so visitors are advised to bring their own food and water.
White Beach amenities include loungers.
Visitor reviews highlight the stunning beauty of the beaches, particularly the unique colors of the white, red, and black beaches. The pristine water and the views from the boat trips around the island are highly appreciated. However, visitors complain about the accessibility of the beaches, as they can only be reached by boat, and the lack of amenities such as restaurants or shops on site.
Visitors to White Beach in Santorini often stay in the nearby village of Akrotiri, which offers a range of accommodations and easy access to boat services to the beach. Many also choose to stay in the popular town of Fira, enjoying its vibrant nightlife and dining options, while making day trips to the island's various beaches including White Beach.
