Agia Eleni Beach
Αγία Ελένη
A sandy beach on the western tip of the island, facing the Pelion Peninsula. It is one of the best beaches on the island for watching the sunset.
Agia Eleni Beach lies at the westernmost tip of Skiathos and faces west. In the evening, the sun sets toward the mountains of the Pelion Peninsula across the water, making it one of the island's recognized sunset beaches. The sand is fine and soft, and the water is shallow. There is a small chapel, a beach taverna, and sunbeds, and it is quieter than Koukounaries. It is about a 15-minute walk from the Koukounaries bus terminus, or you can drive and turn in at the Banana Beach junction. When the afternoon wind is strong, the waves can be somewhat rough.
