Sarakiniko Beach – best beach for snorkeling
The road descending towards Sarakiniko beach is steep and has many turns and 6 km long.
We were surprised to see that in mid-September the beach was almost full of tourists.
It is true that the beach panorama is very beautiful but only after entering the water we manage to have a complete picture of this beach. The water was very warm and crystal clear.
The underwater landscape is also impressive making the snorkeling here a great pleasure.
We stay on this beach until sunset so we had three long rounds of snorkeling with a total of about 4 hours. We snorkel twice on the left side around the isolate rocks emerging from the water and once for 300 meters along the right rocky shore.
The best snorkeling playing ground is on the left side, along the left shore and around the big isolated rock. In the beginning the water depth is 2-4 meters, going deeper up to 10-12 meters. The underwater visibility was 25-30 meters and above.
The huge underwater boulders and rocks create an unique submerged landscape. There are also many small and medium size fish.
On the right side of the bay the rocky shoreline goes almost vertically under the water directly to depth of 6-8 meters, so on this side you do not have a resting area where you can touch the bottom with your feet.
On my snorkeling marking scale the score for Sarakiniko Beach is 5 from a maximum of 5 points. It was the best snorkeling beach that we found the entire coast between Syvota and Parga.
Beautiful beach! Close to Parga with either boat or car. Some good tavernas with good food.
What actually semeone asks for while a vacation: ttanquillity, deep blue and green forest behind! Magical landscape!
Nice and clean beach, quiet with great landscape. Good service at the bar, relaxing music. Arrival by car or boat.
Beautiful beach, few tourists, nice snorkeling at the rocks on the left side of the bay. The view from the Agali taverna is breathtaking, especially at sunset.
