Kalamaki Beach is a kilometre-long stretch of golden sand and clear water that forms the southern edge of the resort. It is part of the National Marine Park of Zakynthos, which was established in 1999 to protect the nesting grounds of the loggerhead sea turtle — one of the most important nesting sites for the species in the Mediterranean.
The beach is sheltered, shallow, and safe for swimming, making it good for families. Sun loungers and umbrellas are available in the central section; the eastern end near the dunes is typically free and quieter. Snorkelling is worthwhile in the rocky areas at either end of the bay. If you are here in early morning before the beach fills, it's worth walking slowly along the tideline looking for turtle tracks in the sand.
