This beach has something for everyone from the gently sloping sand that allows families to enjoy the water without fears of children getting out of their depth to the full range of sun worshipping. You can chose to stake a place for free or pay for two sun beds and an umbrella, they are more expensive the nearer the front you go but still 20 euros cheaper than any of the other more populated beaches.
There is room for everyone here, the sand is golden thus it’s name and there is space for families to play bat n ball or for those more adventurous to try windsurfing although you probably need to book in advance? The experienced windsurfers are great to just watch, the speeds they go at are mesmerising.
If you fancy a walk you can walk along the coastal path from here to Dryos beach which in itself is a pleasant stroll.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

The beach is beautiful and the water is crystal clear and shallow for a long way out, great for wading and hanging out. Good options to pay for sunbeds and umbrellas or to find open beach and claim space for free.
We sat at the Golden Beach Hotel which worked out great for us. Drinks and lunch were reasonably priced and the service was very good. Bathrooms and showers nearby. Beach beds were $20 / pair and patio chairs were $15 / pair.
There is a windsurfing shop right next door that offers lessons. Tons of beginners all day but when I went to sign up, they were booked for the day. If you are interested, book early.
The bus from Naoussa is cheap and easy, the bus stop is just off the beach.

Golden Beach is an about 700m long and quite wide sandy beach in the southeast of Paros. It is also fully organised with plenty of umbrellas, sunbeds, cafés and restaurants. The sand is very fine and gets easily blown into one's face with a strong meltemi wind.
The water stays shallow for quite some time, thus it is an ideal beach for children. Further out are yellow markers, separating the area for swimmers and for windsurfers, for which this beach is also known. At the southern end of the beach are some cliffs, above which goes a nice path in direction of Dryos.

Golden beach is a long sandy beach set on Paros east coast, overlooking the island of Naxos.
It's a fine sand clear water beach with several bars along it offering sunbeds. However, I prefer the free parts, away from the crowds and here're plenty of them.

From start, it sounded like a great chance to have a good time and nice stay here. Staff is beyond friendly for the less. Spot is just great. Surroundings towards south have plenty of other noce beaches and remarquable sights seeings. And the idea of contemplating rising sun as well as sunset through you balcony lying on your bed…. Like that!
To make it short, a great venue with great people. Will be back.

Beach is long, we decided to spend the day in front of Blue beach bar.
They offer free parking, shower, lounges and normal sun beds, beach services, wc of course. All looking good, good standards. Prices are similar to all beaches on Paros (20-15€).
Had breakfast, tasty, and several snacks and drinks, all the beach services were to my expectations and i am a picky person.
Back to the beach ... its sandy but you need swim shoes, the first day i forgot them at hotel, i got an injury at my foot from a bottom rock. To get in and out its a struggle. Water is clear, small waves, moderate wind. Scenario contain island Drionisi and a nice panoramic tall hills in the back.
Overall one of the best on the island.

Full of people, especially from midday 'till evening. Sunbeds booked from the day before, only for some guests. Too much wind. Really expensive for Greece. It doesn't worst a visit for the entire day.

Easy to get to by bus, frequent service and until quite late.
A short walk from the bus stop from where there several areas of loungers at various prices.
Most of these have food stations behind, facilities, and prices we saw were acceptable

Beautiful magical beach in Drios, Chrissi Akti. Had a great time walking to the tide pools at the end of the beach, paddle boarding, great place to windsurf and kite surf when the wind picks up. Great shallow beach for swimming.

Is this a nudist beach?

I agree not a nudist beach but definitely women going topless. Lots of families and young children. It does get a bit windy there so I prefer Drios beach if too windy at Golden Beach.
