Spot de Golden Beach / Paros

Golden Beach / Paros

Golden Beach / Paros

Overview

Golden Beach (Chrysi Akti) is the big sister of New Golden Beach, located just south on the east coast of Paros. This iconic beach hosted the PWA Windsurfing World Championships for many years, establishing its worldwide reputation. The N/NNE Meltemi channeled in the Paros-Naxos canal delivers powerful and consistent side-shore conditions. The golden sand beach is longer than New Golden Beach, with more sailing space.
