Sandy Beach, situated in the stunning Kolpos Lagana (Laganas Bay) of Zakynthos, is a charming tourist attraction renowned for its calm and inviting atmosphere. This beach provides a peaceful escape from the busier resorts on the island, making it an ideal destination for those seeking relaxation and natural beauty. The beach itself boasts soft sands and shallow, clear waters, perfect for paddling and swimming. Its location within Laganas Bay means it's part of the National Marine Park of Zakynthos, an area protected for the endangered Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) that nest on its shores. While this protection means that motorized water sports are restricted to safeguard the turtles, it also ensures the preservation of the beach's natural environment. Visitors can enjoy sunbathing, swimming, and simply soaking in the tranquil ambiance. The beach is generally less crowded than other beaches in the Laganas area, offering a more secluded and intimate experience. The surrounding area is characterized by typical Zakynthian landscapes, with rolling hills and lush vegetation adding to the scenic charm.
