Vrissi Beach is the main town beach at the western edge of Chora Sfakion. It is especially useful if you want a swim without taking another boat or driving farther along the coast.

The Agios Charalambos coves lie east of Chora Sfakion, in the same coastal area as Filaki. Their small scale and rocky surroundings appeal to visitors looking for a quieter, clothing-optional stretch of the Sfakia coastline.

Filaki Beach is a well-known naturist destination east of Chora Sfakion. Its identity is closely connected to the nearby naturist resort, making it a specific choice for travellers comfortable with a clothing-optional beach atmosphere.

Koutelos Beach is a pebbly bay near Nomikiana, between Chora Sfakion and Frangokastello. It makes most sense as a relaxed local stop for visitors already exploring this section of the south coast.

Frangokastello Beach brings together a sandy bay and one of the south coast's most recognisable landmarks: the Venetian fortress behind the shore. It is a practical choice for a beach day with nearby places to eat and stay.

Orthi Ammos Beach lies east of Frangokastello, where pale dunes rise behind a broad sandy shore. Choose it for its open landscape and a less built-up atmosphere than the beach directly below the fortress.
