Dreaming of Crete? Our Elafonisi webcam delivers stunning views of the iconic beach’s clear waters and unique pink sands. Elafonisi is situated on the southwestern coast of Crete, about 75 kilometers from the city of Chania. The beach is famous for its stunning landscape, characterized by soft white and pink sands, which get their unique hue from crushed seashells. The clear, turquoise waters create a striking contrast against the pink-tinged shore, offering a picturesque setting. The rare phenomenon of its pink sand is caused by the presence of tiny pink shells and coral fragments mixed with the sand, creating a beautiful, pastel-colored shoreline. Elafonisi Beach is connected to a small islet by a shallow lagoon, which can be easily waded through when the tide is low. Elafonisi is part of a protected area under the Natura 2000 network due to its unique ecosystem and biodiversity.
