Hi! Are there any smaller or private beaches near the golden beach, where we can get by walk?
Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey Anna, yes there are some smaller beaches along the coast (north of Golden Beach) where you can walk to. Make sure you carry plenty of water with you!

Hi Anna,

Unless you are really good at walking there are only two beaches within walking distance which are Vathi and Marble beach. The best of the two for a more private beach is Vathi. Marble Beach is crowded, as per metre far more crowded than Golden Beach. If you go into the reviews section on this forum and have a look at my 2014 trip report on day 9 (I think) I walk to both and photograph the route all the way.

There is another beach that Delboy forgot to mention. It’s rocky (smooth) and it gets sandy in the water. You’ll need to walk on the road that passes in front of Hotel Island View (where this webcam is located). Within 10 minutes you’ll be there, so it’s much much closer than Vathi and Marble Beach. I’ve never seen people at this beach every time I went, so it might be just the beach you’re looking for!

Do you mean in Blue bay itself Augie, where there is a newest villa built as I didn’t really regard it as a beach as such but think there are pics of it on the first trip report

2788

Yes, I believe that’s the one Delboy!

Absolutely loving it here - have to say the webcam doesn’t do it justice, it’s 100% more stunning in reality! Everywhere serves delicious food - tried somewhere different every day and never been disappointed. Would return for 2 months next year but can’t seem to find any longer stay rentals

Thanks for information about this other beach Augie - we’ve been coming for many years and didn’t know about this - will definitely walk along to give it a try when we visit next month - it’s always so helpful to get local information from someone who lives there :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi BShuffy - looks like you are going to be a convert - we’ve been to most Greek Islands but since discovering Thassos ( particularly Golden Beach /Scala P ) 15 years ago we return every year and have never tired of it - lovely place , great food and very friendly people - looking forward as much as ever to our holiday this year :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks again Augie for all you’re help .

well I walked around there in my first review, I personally don’t regard it was a beach but each to their own

Yep, that’s the one Delboy! Here’s a few photos I took at the other end of this beach.

Well it does look like a beach to me :slightly_smiling_face:

2794

well if we are talking of the same one, this bit of shore line next to the harbour is also used by a few people

Still 5 weeks to go before we arrive :frowning: normally we would be on our way back now but we’re going later in the season this year - bonus is of course still got our holiday to look forward to :slightly_smiling_face:

Looking at the beach it does look a lot busier than when we normally go but that’s to be expected as the high season is now here - certainly won’t detract from our enjoyment - good to see everyone having fun and bringing the much needed business to the Island .

Can’t wait to sample the delights of our favourite tavernas - Green Sea , Korali and Krambousa and catch up with everyone .

Hi Toni - two very good choices of taverna’s - we go alternately from one to the other - sometimes a little embarrassing as they are right next to each other :slightly_smiling_face: I reckon Korali just edges it with their " 4 cheeses in a clay pot " for a starter - my wife doesn’t like cheese so I have to eat it all myself !! where are you staying in SP ?- if it’s Suzies you can’t go wrong :slightly_smiling_face:
