Pounda Beach Paros

Pounda Beach is a world-famous coastal spot located on the western coast of Paros, directly across the narrow channel from the island of Antiparos. It features a long sandy shore and clear blue water, but it is primarily known as one of the premier global destinations for kitesurfing and windsurfing due to the consistent and powerful venturi winds. The beach is fully organized with several professional water sports centers, specialized schools, and vibrant beach bars that attract an active and international crowd of athletes and enthusiasts. It is a hub for high-energy social activity and features a constant parade of colorful kites in the sky. The water is fresh and the channel provides a unique and dynamic environment for a swim, though bathers should be mindful of the sports traffic. The atmosphere is energetic and reflects the modern spirit of the Cyclades. You can easily reach the beach using the local bus or the frequent ferry that crosses to Antiparos. It is a landmark of the island's west coast and offers a wide, bustling horizon for all visitors.
