About this beach

Santa Maria is exposed in the meltemi — often choppy on summer N/NE days. That comes from the measured shape of the coastline around it and our curated wind records — a seasonal picture, not a live forecast, so check live wind and waves before you go.

The bay at Santa Maria opens to the east, so it usually has natural cover from southerly, south-easterly and south-westerly winds.

Santa Maria has sand underfoot with shallow, gently shelving water — handy for families with young children.

For amenities, Santa Maria has an organised beach, a beach bar, sunbeds, natural shade, parking nearby and food nearby. There is a campsite nearby (Camping Santa Maria, ~144 m).
