Mongonisi beach guide

Mongonisi is the sandy beach at the southern tip of Paxos, on the islet of the same name, which a short bridge joins to the main island across the Bay of Ozias. The sand is man-made, but it's the island's best beach for small children: shallow water, shade and shelter from the wind.

It's organised, with sunbeds, umbrellas, watersports and a taverna, and you can drive there, about 3 km south of Gaios. Boat owners like to stop in the bay.
