The best beaches for families are the more lowkey beaches that have good shade and shallow waters. Anywhere with a current is also really bad. You don't want to leave kids alone in water that is dangerosu

Elafonisi Beach is my family's favorite beach. The sand is a pretty pinkish color and it is so soft! There are also services here, which is helpful. We've tried Matala, too, and that one is also good.

Elafonisi has some of the calmest waters. It's so soothing and there are no rocks!! There's nothing worse than going to a beach with rocks or trash

I totally agree! I want my beach experiences to be peaceful and relaxing, not filled with junk and sharp rocks. I agree with you guys, Elafonisi is a great beach, but there are so many great ones on Crete!
