beach in Myknons near tender

Which is the best beach to go to that is near the tender dock , in Mykonos.

Is it a beach where you can rent chairs -umbrellas.

There is a small pebbly beach near the town centre, but don't recollect seeing chairs etc. I believe that there is a beach to the left of the dock, but its a fair old walk with no proper sidewalk. Think it belongs to a hotel.

We do not think there are any decent beaches near the tender dock which is actually located within the city. But you can certainly grab a taxi or take the inexpensive local bus out to Paradise Beach where they have lots of facilities and rental chairs.

There is a beach in town. No chairs, etc, but it was good to wet our feet after a lot of walking. We did not tender but docked and I took the following picture from the balcony.

Others have summed it up.

The town beach is at the end of the harbour. Nowhere near good enough for a "beach day", just somewhere to break away from wandering the town for a while & mebbe dip your feet.

Closest "beach day" will be Paradise Beach, needs a taxi ride of about 4 miles, 15 minutes.

Great points made above by John Bull and Hank! Can I prove and back up this viewpoint?? We got a rental car and drove out to several beaches not too far from the main, charming town. Was it worth it? YES!! See my visual evidence. Some have seen these visuals, but for others newer to these boards, this info might help to verify that these various beaches on Mykonos are worth the effort to get there, see the "prize"!

 

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

On the opposite side of the Mykonos village on the island, here's a sampling of the beachside activities. This includes Agrari, Elia and the long sweeping Kalafatis beach that has become famous to wind surfers. The second picture is from Elia Beach.:

The second half of this shows the afore-mentioned Paradise Beach. I could live without the music but the sea was lovely :D

From memory it was a 10-minutes bus ride from near the windmills. All the best, tony
