About the Beach

Tsigouri Beach is the most popular and social sandy shore on the southern coast of Schinoussa, located just a short walk from the main village of Chora and offering a wide, welcoming perspective of the neighboring islands. It features a long stretch of fine golden sand and small pebbles with exceptionally clear blue water that remains remarkably calm because the bay is well-sheltered from the strong seasonal winds. The beach is well-organized with many rows of sunbeds and umbrellas provided by a stylish beach bar and a traditional taverna that serve high-quality local cuisine and chilled drinks right on the edge of the sand. Numerous large tamarisk trees provide a generous amount of natural shade along the back of the shore, creating a fresh and domestic atmosphere that is a favorite for families and those who appreciate a well-serviced location. The water is shallow near the shore and the entry is very easy for all swimmers, providing a safe and inviting spot for a long day by the sea in one of the island's most vibrant locations. Access is exceptionally easy on foot or by bicycle from any part of the settlement, making it a central part of the island's seaside life and a landmark for international visitors seeking a relaxed paradise.
