Tranquil sandy beach with adjacent ruins of a 14th-century castle backdropped by mountains.

Feels like a remote beach, not a lot of people when we were there! Cleanest water and fine sands! Nice bay with a great view of the castle. Parking for Euro 2. Tavernas right at the beach. Umbrellas and sunbeds to rent. Perfect for a relaxed and quiey day at the beach!
Amongst the best options for families with kids. The right part was really shallow and calm. Almost like a pool. Umbrella sets at 7e. There is a taverna coffee shop to get snacks etc.
Most underrated beach I have been in my 6 day vacation. Good for families (easy access to it, sandy beach, smooth entrance), good for snorkeling (I love snorkeling and I have high standards. I didn’t expect a nice place to snorkel, but around 30 m from the shore in right side of the beach you can find some amazing reefs, and probably to the left at the rocks again you will find nice stuff). Also good for people that just want to chill. The beach is big and there is a lot of space for everyone and the sun beds are not everywhere). Bonus: the view to the sunset is one of the best you can get in this part of the island.
Very nice beach with the castle view. The beach and the water bed is Sandy, smooth making it easy to navigate. The water was surprisingly warm in comparison with other beaches. I don't know what to say about family friendly though as the spot right in front of the castle where we were has a very steep entrance in the water. In maximum 2 meters from the shore, the water was 1.8 meters deep.
Beautiful beach with big sand stripes, there are sunbeds but they do not cover whole beach luckily. Loved the sunset here.. water is clear but better with shoes.
On the day of our visit (second year in a row) the wind was so strong that it was impossible to enjoy. Although the wind blew from the shore towards the sea (the sea was calm and there were no waves) the wind was unbearable. The water was very cold and the fortress is still under reconstruction. In addition, the set of two sunbeds and umbrella costs 6€ which is OK, but those were umbrellas made of some perforated material which gives zero protection. As for me, never again.
Excellent sandy beach with very clear water. The umbrellas are sufficient and well spaced so that they do not interfere with each other. The price of a set is 6 euros. The sand strip is very wide and beautiful. There is a good cafe-restaurant at the back. There are enough parking spaces around the fort.
Good beach, but not nearly as spectacular as the likes of Glyka Nera, Balos, Elafonissi, Falasarna etc. Frangokastelo beach is a quiet sandy beach with some pebbles, with a car park very close to it. No hiking is required. Umbrella with 2 sunbeds at €6. Relaxed, not crowded, nice for a swim. The water was clean but not very clear (low visibility). From the beach you have a good view of the Frangokastello castle and the mountains on the background. There is a taverna right by the entrance but I didn't try it.

My husband and I had a nice time at this cozy café in Frangokastello. The crepe was delicious, and the coffee was just perfect! The lady at the counter was very welcoming, making the atmosphere even more enjoyable. Definitely a great spot to enjoy some tasty treats!
Very welcoming place with excellent service and fine ice cream.
Great shop in front of a Venetian fort from the 1300's. Owners are great and the food and coffee are fantastic. Just a pleasant place to start your day. When I stay in the area I frequently go here in the morning. My kids love it after the beach for lunch.
The Cretan Sandwich is superb! Coffee and pastries are also delicious. The lady working there is lovely. Much recommended.
Very cute, local café. The owner is very nice and welcomes you with a big smile. Makes you feel welcome right away :)
Very good coffee and breakfast with view on the castle. You always feel very welcome here.
Great little pastry shop outside of town. Parking lot.
Delicious, properly made fredo cappuccino, free bottle of cold water with it. 2 euros- July 2022

One of those places that you should protect from mass tourism. Quiet beach with crystal clear water. Be careful on the descent, you can burn your feet 😬
We loved this beach, this was our spot right below the Anthos hotel where we stayed, for which we have only the best words. It was nice in the morning, when just dawn, and there was no one, to swim a few laps. Very refreshing!
The beach is really beautiful The only problem is that all the nudist visitors leave their tents, parasols and chairs over there for weeks Therefore it can be difficult to find a place where to put your towels and umbrellas, in particular where they even complain telling you that this is their place and you are too close!! Unauthorised occupation of public land that is ignored by the local authorities and police. Such a shame!!
Fantastic beach. Super clear water very shallow Sandy beach. Large naturalist part to the left and very well attended with plenty of space. Can have a nice stroll up and down beach. One of the best beaches in crete for a all over tan after trying many. We parked at the top(see pic) and walked down sand dune. There is a used path to follow. If you like swimming you can swim to left and find a quite large deserted beach only reached by water. About 15 mins swim in shallow water.
In my opinion it is the best beach in Crete! Remote, but not difficult to get there. Beautiful cliff wall. Cristal clear water, waves, sand...few people. The perfect combination. Very good taverns close to it.
Lovely quiet beach, nice sandy seabed. No services on the beach itself, but taverna Akti above the beach is a great spot for lunch.
wonderful beach. Not a lot of people (mid/end of june). Perfect to swim and relax.
Snorkel from the rocks in the middle of the beach and follow them underwater... Five stars.
