Description
Two small coves on Paros’ west coast, often called “Palm Beach,” with narrow sandy strands separated by rocks. Seabed is mostly sand with some stones/rocky patches at the edges; water is typically clear. The west-facing, cove-like setting is well sheltered from the prevailing Meltemi (north) winds, so conditions are usually calm with gentle chop. Parts of the beach are organized with sunbeds/umbrellas and a beach club/tavernas; other sections remain simple. Access is by car/scooter via a short (partly unpaved) side road; no convenient bus stop. Parking is just above/behind the beach but limited. Notable cautions: limited space and shade, can get crowded in peak season; watch for submerged rocks near the sides and occasional boat traffic close to shore.
