About this beach

Schinia is exposed in the meltemi — often choppy on summer N/NE days. That comes from the measured shape of the coastline around it and our curated wind records — a seasonal picture, not a live forecast, so check live wind and waves before you go.

The shoreline at Schinia faces north-east, so it usually has natural cover from northerly, north-westerly and westerly winds.

Schinia has sand and pebbles underfoot with shallow, gently shelving water — handy for families with young children.

For amenities, Schinia has an organised beach, a beach bar, sunbeds, natural shade and parking nearby.
