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.

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.

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.

Iligas Beach, also written Ilingas, sits just west of Chora Sfakion below the mouth of Kavi Gorge. It offers a dramatic south-coast setting without requiring the long boat journey associated with more remote Sfakia beaches.

Glyka Nera Beach, often called Sweet Water Beach, lies between Chora Sfakion and Loutro. Pebbles, steep mountain slopes and freshwater springs give it a character very different from the sandy resort beaches near Chania.

Loutro Beach is part of the experience of staying in one of Chania's most distinctive seaside villages. White buildings curve around a bay with small pebble beaches, waterfront tavernas and no road access into the village.
