Galeumi Beach preserves its pristine natural environment. The area was designated a military zone in the late 1970s and closed to civilians, until it was released from the military protection zone in the mid-1990s and opened to the general public. The beach has very fine, white sand and natural dunes, which are useful for children's ecology learning. Its dense natural pine forest nearby makes it suitable for camping and family summer outings. The beach is also known as a filming location for dramas and movies.
