description Red Beach Santorini Overview
Red Beach is a small volcanic beach near Akrotiri on the southern coast of Santorini, Greece. Its distinctive setting is formed by dark sand and gravel beneath steep, iron-rich red and black volcanic cliffs, products of the island's caldera-forming geological history. Falling rocks and landslides are recurring hazards around the unstable cliff face, and access may be restricted, so official local safety guidance is relevant to prospective visitors.
