Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Megali Peza (Andros island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Megali Peza (Andros island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Megali Peza for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

The road to the beach is a bit rough, but the water is crystal clear and stunningly blue. The beach is not very crowded and lacks organization. During my visit, I didn't see many other people around. I did get stung by two thistles, but it seems like this is not a common occurrence on Andros. The view from above is quite beautiful, especially as you approach the beach and see the nearby Peza. Overall, I think it's a fantastic destination, perfect for adventurous travelers looking for a more exclusive experience. ❤️

Andros has the most beautiful waters, with light and fine pebbles on the beach. It's a great spot to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery.

Unfortunately, the beach appears to have been deserted as it is brimming with litter, both on the shore and in the water. It's a pity because it has the potential to be a great spot to visit.

The beach is an exquisite location with crystal-clear waters and jagged cliffs. The journey to this destination was quite lengthy, as the dirt roads were not in optimal condition. Our trip was hindered by the powerful winds, leading us to seek out a different beach. It would be wise to verify the wind velocity and direction prior to embarking on a trip to Megali or Mikri Peza. Regrettably, there was an abundance of debris brought in by the sea, as well as various items such as car parts, shoes, and bottles, discarded by people beyond the shoreline.
