WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS GUIDE?

Best Beaches in Mykonos

Mykonos is primarily a summer destination, so naturally, the beaches are the main attraction. In peak season, countless visitors walk or lounge along its shores. In lean season, they can get pretty tamed and quiet. But these are the top beaches on the island.

Super Paradise Beach. For the party-goer, Sugar Paradise Beach harbors wildly famous clubs including Jackie O and Super Paradise Club. At sunset, the area becomes a dance floor until sunrise the next day. If you have friends who keep on raving about insane parties they experienced in Mykonos, they probably took place here.
Paraga Beach. Located in a small cove along the southern edge of the island, Paraga Beach glistens with golden sand, lapped by crystal clear waters. It’s a small cove, but a great lounge spot. You can event spot some celebrities here if you’re lucky.
Ftelia Beach. For those who want a quieter Mykonos beach experience. This beach laces one part of the Protective Bay on the northern coast of the island. It’s a quiet spot, far from the party beaches in the south. But strong winds make it a great venue for windsurfing. It has only one all day bar restaurant and few visitors.
Panormos Beach. Also located on the north side of the island, along the Protective Bay. It is a virgin beach with only a few facilities. Also for the quiet type.
