The beach is adjacent to the small village of the same name, Tsoutsouros, which is located in a quiet tourist area of the southern coast of Crete, about 12 km south of the village of Kato Kasteliana. A small harbour operates on the shore at Tsoutsouros, dividing the local beach of Tsoutsouros, about 2 kilometres long, into two parts.

The sandy, sometimes rather coarse sandy beach of Tsoutsouros slowly sinks into the crystal clear sea. However, the coastline is open to strong winds and you can experience bigger waves. The beach is partially organized, and tourists can use sunbeds with umbrellas, bars with refreshing drinks or a stand offering water sports in selected places. It is also nice to relax in the shade of the tamarisk trees that grow along the beach. Tsoutsouros is very popular with locals from near and far, so it can get crowded at the weekend.

According to local legend, the current village of Tsoutsouros stands on the site of the ancient town of Inatos. Originally a fishing village, Tsoutsouros has grown quite a bit in recent years due to increasing tourism, but still retains the peace and tranquility of a traditional Greek village. Here you will find several apartments for rent, tavernas and shops selling a variety of goods.

West of the port of Tsoutsouros you can discover some very interesting karst caves. One of them is the so-called "Dragon Cave", where it is said that the locals discovered the skeleton of a large dragon. To the east you will reach the other nice beaches of Dermatos and Keratokambos.
