This beach is one of the most beautiful beaches of Milos and the most peculiar one.
It is located along the coastal road east of Adamas, at the north-eastern of Milos.
It is the most photographed site of the Aegean, very impressive because of its particular landscape; it is a unique place with elongated, horizontal rocks over the sea; those rocks are eroded by the salt water, with small and huge hollows all over them.
The entire landscape formed by the volcanic rocks is completely empty of plant life and of a bright white, contrasting with the deep blue and the turquoise of the surrounding waters.
This entire amazing image creates the sensation of standing on the moon, in a lunar landscape.
This wide crescent of dark Meander River delta sand is 7 km west of Selçuk (4 km west of Ephesus).
Though big resort hotel complexes (including the Richmond) rise on its southern reaches, most of the beach is public.
At the very southern end, where the road begins the climb over the hills to Kusadasi, is the Aqua Fantasy water park.
The soft sand is a bit squishy underfoot and, as you can see from my photos, the beach is open to the Aegean Sea, which constantly sends waves onto it, churning the sand, clouding the water, and making the swimming experience an active one.
You can get drinks, meals and shade at a small hotel near the beach, but be advised that there is little shelter on the beach proper, so bring lots of sunblock.
Even more importantly, there is a Jandarma (police) post, but no lifeguards! The Jandarmas have no life-saving equipment or training, so you’re on your own.
The surf can be rough, so please be careful.
The coastal road from Selçuk and Ephesus to Kusadasi runs within a five-minute walk of the sea at Pamucak, so access is cheap, quick and convenient by means of the frequent (every 20 or 30 minutes) Selçuk – Kusadasi minibuses.
