Argassi beach extends for a kilometre along the island's southeastern coast. While its strip of sand is narrow, limiting its appeal for all-day sunbathing, it remains a pleasant spot for a swim. The coastline features numerous coves and rock formations, creating an interesting environment for snorkelling. The beach offers a wide range of water sports and is well-equipped for families, especially thanks to the clear shallow waters. The adjacent town contributes significantly to its appeal, with a variety of lively bars, restaurants and shops.
