Agnontas Beach
Ships and ferries anchor here when the wind prevents them from going to the island's other ports. It is a village with a small sandy beach, hotels, tavernas, and rooms to rent.

Panormos Beach
A natural harbor and one of the most idyllic beaches when it's not crowded (fall). Perfect place to dock your boat, if you have one. Mind the water -it gets deep suddently.

Stafylos Beach
Staphylos beach is 4km away to the south of Skopelos Chora. It is an amazing bay with a sandy beach. A golden sabre with an ornamented handle, 32cm long, was found in a pit like tomb, together with other findings of Cretan-Mycenaean period by the archaeologist N. Platonas during excavations in 1936. The tomb was attributed to the mythical hero and king Staphylos. Probably the most convincing proof for the tomb identity is the name of the region, which for thousands of years has remained the same. The sword is kept on display in the Archaeological Museum of Athens. To the east side of the beach is a small rocky peninsula with bushes. This is the place of the pit like tomb, but today there is nothing interesting to see. Next to it is Velanio beach.

Glysteri Beach
This is virtually the only accessible beach in the north west of the island, about 60 minutes walk from Chora if you fancy the slog on foot. There is a small, stony beach in a very secluded bay with waterside cantina opening in the summer months. There is also a campsite in the nearby olive groves for those who prefer roughing it. The only drawback for those trying to escape the crowds are the fairly regular visits from caiques which drop off day trippers en route to the sea caves at nearby TRIPITI

Loutraki Beach
An unattractive, unkempt and litter strewn pebble beach is all you get at this dull fishing port which serves the much prettier village of Glossa perched high above on the hill. Many ferries pull in here after visiting Chora and what a disappointment it must be for visitors. However, there are secluded coves around the coastline here if you are prepared to scramble to them and there is always Glossa up the hill

Limnonari Beach
This small beach is near Agnodas is hidden in a small cove and can be reached by boat or by foot. The bay is surrounded by pine trees that make the water appear green. There are sun beds and umbrellas and waterside tavernas.

Adrines Beach
About 16 km from Skopelos Town just past Panormos. A beautiful, organized beach, accessible through Adrina Hotel. The waters are crystal clear, the beach is squeaky clean and there are umbrellas and sunbeds

Milia Beach
Further north on the coastline the landscape become precipitous and the pine forest denser; here is the famous and beautiful beach of Milia, a long, white sandy beach which extending for nearly a kilometre alongside the pine trees. The sand in Milia is particularly fine and glimmering white and the turquoise waters are incredibly limpid and calm. The verdant islet called Dassia stands opposite this marvellous beach and adds a final touch to the beauty of this idyllic landscape.
A nice beach bar, sun beds and umbrellas are located in the middle of Milia. This beautiful beach is particularly popular with wind surfers

Valanio Beach
This lovely crick is located near Staphylos, reachable from a path at the end of Staphylos. This is one of the nicest beaches on Skopelos; protected from the winds, Valanio has calm and crystalline waters and fine golden sand. This beautiful beach is totally unorganized, left to its natural beauty, surrounded by mountains and pine forests. It is the only official nudist beach on the island and a real marvel. Above the beach are Minoan archaeological finds believed to be the ruins of the palace of the Minoan king Staphylos. This site is also where a royal tomb has been found containing various objects of great value as weapons, gold jewellery, vases and a golden sword attributed to Staphylos. Traces of an ancient settlement have also been excavated on the headland

Elios Beach
It is also known as "Neo Klima". It suffered extensive damage during the big earthquake of 1965. Elios was built again with government funding and this newest resort has a long single beach.

Glossa Beach
The second largest town of the island is 30 Km from town and shaped like an amphitheatre. Glossa cascades down the hilltop with its traditional houses. Hardly touched by tourism, this sleepy town has a handful of shops. Wander through labyrinth of back streets to find the church of the Virgin Mary in a picturesque square
