About the Beach

Koukounaries Beach is a world-famous and spectacularly beautiful sandy sanctuary on the southwestern coast of Skiathos, widely considered one of the finest beaches in the Mediterranean. It features a long crescent of extremely fine golden sand that glitters under the sun, backed by a rare and protected forest of Stone Pines that reach the edge of the shore. The beach is part of a delicate biotope that includes the Strofylia lagoon, yet it is fully organized with many rows of sunbeds, umbrellas, and high-quality beach bars that offer a cosmopolitan environment. The water is exceptionally shallow and crystal-clear, providing a safe and inviting spot for families and nature lovers alike. It is a hub of social activity and attracts a large international crowd who come to experience the unique combination of green forest and blue sea. The beach is equipped with modern accessibility features for 2026 to ensure the water is available to everyone. Access is very easy via the local bus at the final stop or by boat from the main town harbor. The atmosphere is social and reflects the vibrant spirit of the Sporades. It is a landmark of the island and offers a wide, welcoming horizon for all.
