This is the beach of the village of Molos, which is next to the chora (main village, "capital" of a Greek island) of Skyros. It is a very good beach for sunbathing as it is sandy - but be careful in the water, there may be urchins. There are cafes and bars on the beach, there are fishing boats creating beautiful views, and from the beach you can see the magnificent chora of Skyros, with the church and the Venetian castle on top and the snow-white houses below - Skyros, interestingly enough, is an island that is distanced from the Cyclades but has Cycladic architecture. Note that you can also have marvelous views of the beach itself and the village of Molos and the surrounding landscape from the Venetian castle, when you climb to the top of it, a must-do exercise.
