This cozy little seaside spot boasts charming pockets of shade that provide a welcome respite from the sun's rays.

This charming beach is a tranquil haven, particularly in late June, with a predominantly older crowd seeking relaxation. The absence of large crowds adds to the peaceful atmosphere. An added bonus is the hourly water taxi from Skaithos Town, except during lunchtime and late evening, making it a convenient option for a quick visit. Sunbed rentals are reasonably priced at approximately €2 per bed, although the furniture may not be top-of-the-line, it serves its purpose well. Overall, this beach is well-maintained and not overly crowded, making it a favorite for many who visit during their week-long stays.

This beach is a fantastic destination for families with children. The convenience of having a restaurant right by the sea and everything within close proximity makes it a stress-free experience. Additionally, the availability of parking adds to the ease of access. The tranquil atmosphere of this beach provides a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The beach is absolutely stunning, with soft sand that is perfect for lounging on. It's easily accessible by bus, with a stop at number 12, and only a short 10-minute walk away. Alternatively, you can take a water taxi from the old port in Skiathos for just 4 euros per person. It's definitely worth the price to avoid the crowded buses that everyone takes when leaving the beach at the same time.
