Looking back at my comments made a year ago, you would hardly recognise it as the same beach. The Sirrocco is gone, and a lot of sunbeds as well. The resort is quiet, the beach is less busy, and less noisy.
But at least there appears to be more room to move on the beach, which may not be a bad thing ! |

We visited this beach twice & loved it. We got sun chairs outside the Cherry Bar. The sea was lovely and warm. It was so shallow for so far out which is great for kids. The water is so clear that we could see the little fish swimming near our feet. Theres no pebbles either which is a bonus, i hate standing on stones with bare feet !! Its just pure sand at the bottom of the sea too which is great. Theres plenty of places to eat and drink on the sea front. This beach is miles long so you wont have trouble finding a spot. The only downer was the guys trying to sell you fake stuff, and the massage woman but a polite no will make them go away (or just pretend to be asleep like i did ) This is one of the best beaches i've been to.

If you're looking for the perfect spot on the beach, choose sunbeds in front of Sirocco restaurant, beside Hotel Australia. They're 5 euros for two, and you get looked after by the amazing George, who runs after you all day. He will fetch you drinks, food, ash trays, chase the stray dogs away, and watch your belongings while you swim in the sea, or nip off for a snack. It's also a lot quieter here, than further along the beach where some bars play loud music all day ! |

This beach is great. Sand wasn't the best, bit the sea stayed shallow for far out. loads to do and full of places to eat and drink. |

| Our favourite beach in all the Greek Isles we've been to. It's an extremely long beach, so everyone has plenty room. Sun loungers for hire at variable prices ( about 5 euros for two ). The sea is shallow for a good way out, and if you venture further, you might be lucky to spot a turtle !
The DVD/CD men will pester you many times a day, but a polite no thank-you normally does the trick ! |

This is the nicest beach i've ever seen! Gorgeous!! If you dont wanna pay for a sunbed lie on the sand, its comfy free and nothing to complain about.
If you spot jimmy outside the andreolas hotel, say hello...very friendly!!  |

i loved the beech as i could just chill on there after a night out... the sand is lovely except when its hot and you burn your feet lol... the sea is beautifull and safe to swim in, i was in it every day...
 the only downside is people trying to sell you things, when all you wanna do is chill, it can get you angry after a while... 
other than this i would recomend it.... |

The sea is lovely, especially around 5pm - the water is really warm then!
Not keen on the fact that the beach is used as a road overnight. It makes the sand really crap. I believe they don't do this all year round, but we went early June and it was really annoying! |

Got back from Laganas last fri 8th July. Gutted to be back, Lagana is fantastic, stayed at Yakinthos apartments, bit off a walk up the main road but was worth it. Beach is fantastic can go on for miles. Sunbeds vary in price, most charge 5 euros a day for 2 and an umbrella but if u walk a bit further up by greek islands resturant they are 2 euros for 2 and an umbrella. Sea was lovely and warm and can walk outfor ages and still be in your depth. cannot wait to get back! All you lucky ppl who still waiting to go have a fantastic time! 2 weks wasnt long enough!! |

Lush water lots of sand and we saw SO MANY TURTLES! Just snorkel out a bit and look around, easier to see from a pedalo/boat. Then get out and swim alongside the turtles!
Lovely sand lots of fitties. All good. |

I went a few years ago with 14 lads. Going back again 14th July with some girlies this time. Highly recommend the place. Nightlife is quality - something for everyone! The sea is absolutely gorgeous - crystal clear!....highly recommend getting a pedallo. Pedal far out to find turtles and you can still see the bottom. Not so many fit men when i was there but we can live in hope. Look out for the bar 'Cocktails and Dreams' - v.cheesey but guaranteed good night! |

| Well going back for my 7th time in august, great place. For those who have not been before, there is something for everyone. Most hotels and apartments are upto 10-15 minutes from beach or nightlife. The main area is "THE STRIP" which runs up from the beach, here you will find shops, bars and clubs. The beach is good however the sand is hard and most people hire sun loungers. sea is usually calm and clear nice for swimming. If you want any information about Laganas email me at martin@martin801.wanadoo.co.uk and I will try and answer any questions you have. |

Laganas has to be the best resort/beach on the whole island....the beach is about 9kms long and all sand.....it does get busy on there and the "traders" are a pain but they leave you alone if you say No.The beach gentley slopes into the sea,ideal bathing and the sea is clear and warm.You can hire a motor boat for about 70 euro's aday or 25 Euro's for an hour,there are also pedalo's to hire for 10 euro's an hour,and no end of taverna's. If you prefer somewhere abit quieter,I suggest walking a little farther along towards Kalamaki..there are No taverna's or traders.Lagana itself is a busy place with lots of bars/clubs it really comes alive at night,a good selection of shops,there is a McDonalds,Pizza hut,& KFC,watch the flowers girls...they are a real pain...!!! But otherwise highly recommended,I've been there 6 times now and go back year after year....you are remembered by the locals. |
