Golden Beach (Chrysi Akti)
Χρυσή Ακτή
A golden sandy beach about 700 m long on the southeast coast, home to a windsurfing World Cup venue and water sports center.
Golden Beach lies on the southeast coast of Paros, with fine golden sand about 700 m long. In summer, the steady Meltemi north wind makes it a well-known windsurfing and kitesurfing spot in the Aegean, and it has hosted windsurfing World Cup events. The beach has several surf schools and equipment rentals, as well as sun loungers, bars, and restaurants. The adjoining New Golden Beach (Tserdakia) to the south is also good for water sports, and to the north you can see Naxos. It is about 18 km from Parikia, with direct bus service. Winds can be strong, so it is not ideal for those who want a quiet swim.
