This is the most famous beach of Skiathos, therefore the most crowded.
It is well-known for its extremely fine white sand and its fragrant pine trees forest from which the region took its name.
It is considered as the most unspoiled natural beach of the Mediterranean and is a protected environment.
A biotope can be found in the pine forest boarding the beach where different species of plants and birds are protected; this place, as well as the beach, is developed for ecotourism, financed by the Municipality and the European Union.
A local bus links this beach to the capital every 30 minutes.
