Paros · Beach

Golden Beach

Golden Beach, or Chryssi Akti, combines a long sandy shore and shallow entry with reliable summer wind, schools and organised family sections.

Our take

Paros's broad windsurfing beach with room beyond the sails

Golden Beach is Paros's established windsurfing centre. Fine sand stretches along an open southeast-facing bay, and schools use the meltemi for lessons and advanced sailing. In lighter morning conditions, the gradual entry is comfortable for ordinary swimming.

Choose a section away from launch corridors if you are not participating in water sports. The long beach has both concessions and free sand, while bus and road access make it practical without staying nearby.
