What to do in Halikounas beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the Halikounas beach can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Halikounas beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing.

The beach is a stunning expanse of natural sand that stretches for miles. Right in the middle of the three-kilometer-long beach is the Tayo Bar, which boasts a welcoming staff and affordable prices.

The island boasts of a sprawling coastline, with one of the longest beaches in the region. The breathtaking vistas of the sea are simply mesmerizing, and there are plenty of serene spots to unwind without feeling cramped or hemmed in by crowds. Whether you're driving or riding a scooter, getting to this beach is a breeze. However, it's important to note that the lack of proximity to the village means that the amenities and services may not be top-notch. It's advisable to bring your own umbrella, as the available space is limited.

The beach is lengthy and boasts of shimmering yellow sand and shallow waters that extend far. At the end of the beach, there's Tayo beach bar that offers reasonably priced drinks and a chance to watch kitesurfing in close proximity. It's quite serene and definitely worth a visit.

The beach is fairly clean, although it can be difficult to locate. However, the effort to get there is worth it. The sand is exquisite, and there is a lovely bar nearby called Tayo Beach Bar. While we didn't partake, I did peruse the menu and found that the selection was varied and the prices were reasonable for a beach bar in a remote location. Just be aware that if you don't have an all-wheel-drive car, it may be challenging to navigate beyond Tayo Beach Bar.
