About Koukounaries Beach
Koukounaries Beach is a sandy beach on Skiathos, facing south. Land shelters it from winds from the north, the north-east, the east, the west, and the north-west, so those winds leave the water flat here. Winds from the south-east and the south arrive over open sea and raise waves when they are strong. A road leads to the beach and there is parking nearby. Within 300 m there are 4 tavernas and restaurants, 4 bars and cafés, and toilets or showers. A beach resort is on or next to the beach. The sea is warmest in August, at about 26 °C. It is above 22 °C from June to September.
Written from map data (OpenStreetMap contributors), our own measurement of the open sea around the beach and NOAA sea temperatures (1991-2020 averages).
