Description

Ekatopenintari is a small, secluded beach on the east coast of Skopelos, accessible via a narrow dirt track that branches off the main coastal road. The setting is typical of this part of the island: rocky headlands frame a shallow cove, with scrubby pine and olive trees creeping down to the shore. The beach itself is a mix of coarse sand and small pebbles, the kind that slopes gently into moderately clear water. Because wave exposure is moderate, a lively chop can build up on windier days, but it often settles to a pleasant ripple. Parking is roadside along the track, which can fit only a handful of cars, so early arrival is wise in summer. There are no facilities at all: no sunbeds, no taverna, no showers. You will need to bring everything – water, food, shade – and take your rubbish away. This is a beach for swimmers and sunbathers who value peace and a wild, undeveloped coast. It rarely gets crowded, and the lack of organisation means it stays quiet even in August.
