Paradise Beach

Paradise Beach is one of the most popular beaches on the island for a very good reason: The dense forest that reaches the beach and the shallow emerald waters create a magical natural scene that you will never forget. This beach is located 24 kilometers southeast of Limenas and is close to Kinira Beach and Kinira village. You can also see the small island “Kiniriotiko” from both coasts, which is protected by Natura 2000.

Paradise Beach is easily accessible by car and public transportation like buses (KTEL). Popular places like this have frequent bus routes passing by them due to increased demand from tourists and locals. Of course, you can rent a car or grab a taxi if that suits your needs better. There are several parking spots nearby, but it can still be very crowded during peak hours in the summer season. Getting there early in the morning is advised to find sunbeds near the sea and good parking spots. 

The beach is well organized and has many sunbeds with umbrellas provided by the beach bars that operate in the area. Usually, the cost of the sunbeds includes a free drink such as coffee, soft drinks, or beer. Paradise Beach is perfect for families with kids for two main reasons: The waters are very shallow for a long distance, and there is plenty of space between the sunbeds and the sea to play with the fine sand. The only drawback is that sometimes it is windy and it may have waves.

In Paradise Beach, you don’t have to worry about amenities because toilets and showers are provided by the businesses that operate on the beach. You will also find restaurants and taverns to enjoy a meal while spending your day enjoying the sea and the sun.

Nudist Section

Paradise Beach was a famous nudist beach in the past decades because it is secluded by the thick trees of the forest. Although this is not the case anymore, there is a nudist section on the rocky part of the beach, which is not visible from the main beach and offers privacy to those who enjoy swimming and sunbathing in more natural ways.
