Spot description
This spot lies near Agios Andreas in Arcadia, not on the island of Milos. The coastal section has shallower water with isolated rocks; conditions change considerably with wind angle. Sources conflict on south and west winds. In offshore wind a safe return route is especially important.
More spot information
The source dataset lists northeast, north-northeast, southeast and west as best directions; main directions are north, northeast and southeast. Thermal and frontal winds and 17–21 kn are listed. The source describes very strong offshore wind in westerlies. A newer online source for Agios Andreas/Kynouria instead mentions south to southeast; because identification with the exact same beach is uncertain, this directional discrepancy remains open for checking.
Usually few waves, with light chop in places; the water near shore is described as shallow. Watch for rocks. Plan your return particularly carefully in strong offshore west wind.
The source describes the spot north of Agios Andreas harbour. The final kilometres follow a small unpaved access road; alternatively park at the small harbour and continue on foot.
Watch for rocks and possible gusts near shore; get local advice on a safe return.
