Paraga Beach (Mykonos)

37° 24.5′ N · 25° 21.0′ E

Two golden-sand coves split by a headland between Platis Gialos and Paradise, with the Scorpios beach club on the western point. The semicircular shape keeps the water flat in summer.

Practical

Greeka: the curved shoreline protects it from wind, so waves are rare in summer, with views to Naxos and Paros. Anchor off in sand outside the swimmers' line in settled N winds (no pilot data, so sound in). Mini-market behind the beach (OSM). Reached by sea taxi from Platis Gialos.

Best for

Calm-water swim and the Scorpios sunset
