The beach is known for its pink sand. There are signs around that you can not take it with you

Everything they said was true.
Elafonisi’s sand is pink. ✔️
It’s one of the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. ✔️
And pictures won’t give it justice. ✔️

Elafonissi is a small island 200 m from the shore of Crete. Between the island and the shore there is a shallow lagoon in which the water is a maximum of one meter deep.
The pink sand that is deposited along the water's edge is created by the large amount of mussels that are finely rubbed by the ocean current.
It is said that it is the dream beach of Crete, with a Caribbean flair.
Of course, many other visitors see it that way and accordingly it is very crowded.
There are taverns nearby, parking spaces, as well as sun loungers, parasol rentals, changing rooms, toilets and showers on the beach
