This long beach near Faliraki Rhodes is sandy until its midpoint, then it becomes sand-and-shingle to the North. Entrance to the water is sandy along all the coastline, sloping and continuous. The water warms up quickly at the beginning of the season, so by the middle of May it is already comfortable to swim, the sea is calm, and has no waves. Anyway, a water minibus may cause a wave, to the сommon delight of those who are swimming. In some places at the entrance to the sea, it’s necessary to overcome the pebble drift, special aqua shoes will help to cope with it without pain.
The width of the beach from very narrow, with only one row of the sun loungers in the center of Faliraki, gradually turns into a wide shore that may comprise up to ten rows of sun loungers with sun shades. The bottom from the purely sandy becomes sand-and-shingle to the North. So, to the North of the Blue Sea Hotel, in the water appear huge flat slabs, rocks, and large rocks. A running path of wooden flooring is underlaid all along the Faliraki beach. That’s why the transition between different parts of the beach is not complicated, and it's possible to move to a place with a more comfortable entrance to the sea.

For example, the hotel Apollo Beach has arranged a huge green glade between the housings and the sea, it’s equipped with free of charge sun loungers and sunshades. So, there are only rows of paid sun loungers on the municipal shore.
