Aspros Volakas (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Ασπρος Βώλακας, white rock) is a large white rock, next to Long Beach, on the coast of Crete, near Lambi, in Rethymno regional unit. This rock feature is formally designated as a cape due to the shallow water.[1]

Aspros Volakas is very close to Long Beach. There is another rock that is further away, to the east, called Mavros Volakas.[2]
