Good to know
Which beaches in Skiathos are the most secluded?
The beaches listed here are remote and usually have no facilities. Access can be rough — a dirt track, a hike or boat-only — so plan ahead and bring supplies.
What should I know before swimming at remote beaches?
Remote beaches have no lifeguards or services. Avoid strong wind, big waves and swimming alone, and check live wind and waves in the app first.
When is the sea calmest here?
Across 11 of the beaches on this page, the open water in front of them is typically 0.38 m in June, 0.43 m in July and 0.44 m in August when the meltemi is at its strongest, and 0.48 m in September. June is the calmest month of the season. We calculate these figures ourselves from European Copernicus wave-model data at 4.2 km resolution. They describe the sea offshore, not the shelter of an individual cove — a bay protected by a headland will usually be calmer than this.
How warm is the water, month by month?
Off 11 of the beaches on this page the sea is typically 18.6 °C in May, 23.1 °C in June, 25.7 °C in July, 26.5 °C in August and 24.6 °C in September — ideal at the height of summer, mild in June. By October it is 21.4 °C. August is the warmest month. Satellite measurements, 1995–2024, from a sea cell about 5 km offshore; shallow bays usually run warmer than this.
Wind and waves change every day. See live conditions for any of these beaches before you drive out.
