About Megali Ammos
A short walk or drive south of Skiathos Town brings you to Megali Ammos, the nearest sandy beach to the port. Its long, gentle curve of golden sand is backed by tamarisk trees and low-rise buildings, with shallow water that shelves gradually — ideal for families with young children. Moderate wave exposure provides a pleasant chop without being rough. The beach is fully organised: rows of sunbeds and umbrellas, a lifeguard on duty, showers, toilets, and several beach bars and tavernas serving food and drinks throughout the day. Watersports like jet skis and pedalos are available at the eastern end. Parking is roadside along the access road, which can fill quickly in high season. Megali Ammos is lively and convenient, perfect for a relaxed day with all facilities close at hand.
