There’s a taverna on the beach serving food and drinks but as you’re in the main resort there’s no shortage of places to visit for lunch that are well within easy walking distance. There’s no beach sports available so teens could get bored, younger kids will love playing in the shallow crystal clear water and as the bay is set back it’s usually pretty calm and safe.
Getting to Skala Maries beach is simple as it’s just off the main coastal road, there’s parking available in and around the village but the streets are narrow so parking can be tricky, there’s no specific car parking area at the beach.
