Laggeri Beach

Semi wild dunes, naturist friendly cove across the bay from Naoussa

Laggeri Beach is a semi wild stretch of sand and dunes at the mouth of Naoussa Bay, facing the open Aegean. It feels remote even though it is not far from Naoussa, with soft sand, shallow clear water and a long tradition as a naturist-friendly beach in Paros. There are no built services on the sand, which keeps the atmosphere simple, quiet and a complete contrast to nearby Santa Maria Beach and Naoussa’s nightlife.

Where Laggeri Beach sits on the island

Laggeri Beach sits on the north-east side of Paros, at the outer edge of Naoussa Bay, opposite the more developed Santa Maria Beach.

  • From Naoussa: about 15 minutes by car or scooter, depending on traffic and the last dirt section.
  • From Parikia: roughly 30–35 minutes by car.
  • From Paros airport: around 35–40 minutes by car.

The last part of the approach is on dirt roads and footpaths, which is part of why Laggeri still feels like a hidden corner compared with other beaches near Naoussa. It is a good candidate for a day when you have wheels organised through Paros car rentals or private transfers in Paros.

How Laggeri Beach feels through the season

Laggeri Beach, Paros, wide sandy beach with calm water, low dunes, and coastal vegetation.

Because Laggeri Beach is not organised and is a bit harder to reach, the atmosphere stays relatively quiet compared with the more famous spots in the Paros beaches list.

  • May & June: Very calm, with a mix of locals, naturists and early season visitors who want space and silence.
  • July & August: More people, but still much quieter than Santa Maria or Kolymbithres. The beach is long enough that you can usually find a peaceful patch.
  • September & early October: Soft light, warm sea and a more laid-back crowd. Great time if you like minimal infrastructure.

Daytime is all about swimming, sunbathing and long, slow hours in the shade of dunes or a beach umbrella you bring yourself. Even in high season there is no nightlife or loud bar scene on the sand, so evenings usually move back towards Naoussa or other villages from the wider Paros villages guide.

Sea, sand and layout of Laggeri Beach

Laggeri Beach is one of the more natural-looking beaches on the north-east side, with dunes and low vegetation framing a long curve of sand.

  • Beach shape: An elongated bay with sand almost all along its length, backed by dunes and shrubs.
  • Sand: Fine, light-coloured sand that is comfortable for towels and easy barefoot walking.
  • Water entry: Shallow and gentle near the shore, becoming deeper and a richer blue further out.
  • Seabed: Mostly sandy, with some scattered rocks on the sides that give nice water colours and simple snorkeling.
  • Space: More space between groups than most organised beaches, especially if you walk further along the shore.
  • Naturist areas: Parts of Laggeri, usually towards the more remote ends, are well known as naturist-friendly zones. Everyone tends to coexist respectfully, but if you prefer only textiles or only naturist areas, you can choose your spot accordingly.

If you like beaches that still feel a bit wild rather than heavily structured with sunbeds and loud music, Laggeri is one of the best options near Naoussa, especially as a contrast to Santa Maria or Monastiri Beach.

Wind, meltemi and when Laggeri Beach works best

Laggeri sits more exposed to the open Aegean than the inner parts of Naoussa Bay, so wind and sea conditions matter here.

  • Strong northerly meltemi: The beach can feel quite exposed and choppy. On very windy days, families and nervous swimmers may prefer more protected spots like Monastiri Beach or Santa Maria Beach.
  • Moderate north wind: Fine if you like a breeze and do not mind some waves, with beautiful clear water and good visibility.
  • Calm days: Ideal. The sea is flat, colours are intense, and the bay feels like a wild swimming pool.
  • Southerly winds: Often more comfortable than exposed south-coast beaches, but the north side may still see some swell.
  • Best time of day: Mornings and late afternoons offer gentler sun and often lighter wind, plus a quieter feel.

If you wake up to a forecast of lighter wind and want a more natural alternative to the famous organised beaches from the best beaches in Paros guide, it is a good day for Laggeri.

Access, parking and services at Laggeri Beach

Reaching Laggeri Beach is part of the experience and helps keep it quieter and more natural.

  • Access by road: Best with a car or scooter from Naoussa or other bases on Paros. The final section is on dirt road and then a short walk through sand and low vegetation.
  • Parking: Informal parking areas at the end of the dirt road. In peak summer, arrive earlier to avoid parking stress.
  • Public transport: No direct bus to the sand. You can combine a bus to Naoussa or the Santa Maria area with a taxi, walk or private transfer in Paros, but it is not as straightforward as other beaches.
  • Taxis and private transfers: It is realistic to use taxis in Paros or, more reliably, private transfers to get close to the access point, then walk to the beach.
  • Boats: In some seasons there may be small boats from Naoussa that can drop you near Laggeri or nearby coves; check locally or via our boat tours in Paros section once you arrive.
  • On-beach services: No sunbeds, no organised beach bar on the sand. This is a bring your own umbrella, drinks and snacks situation.
  • Facilities: No formal toilets or changing rooms on the beach itself.

Think of Laggeri as a place where you need to arrive prepared, not a beach where you just show up with nothing and expect full service. Planning ahead with car rentals in Paros or ATV and scooter rentals makes it much easier.

Who Laggeri Beach works best for

Laggeri Beach, Paros, aerial coastline view with a pier, clear water, and distant hills across the bay.
  • Couples and adults: Excellent for couples and adult groups who want a natural, quiet beach away from crowds and loud music.
  • Naturists: Long known as one of the more naturist-friendly beaches in Paros, with some areas where nudity is normal and accepted.
  • Slow travellers: A good match if you enjoy walking a little, bringing your own setup and spending longer, quieter hours by the sea.
  • Photographers and nature lovers: The dunes, light and view across Naoussa Bay work well for photos and peaceful swims.

Laggeri is less ideal if you want organised sunbeds, quick access to tavernas, or if you are travelling with small kids who need constant facilities. In that case, Santa Maria Beach, Monastiri or Golden Beach from the best beaches in Paros guide will feel easier.

Example easy days that start or end at Laggeri Beach

  • Naoussa and Laggeri escape: Morning coffee and a walk in Naoussa, then a late morning or early afternoon escape to Laggeri Beach for quiet swimming, followed by sunset and dinner back in the harbour.
  • North coast contrast day: Start at Kolymbithres or Monastiri Beach for an organised swim, then move to Laggeri in the later afternoon when the sun is softer and the light is beautiful.
  • Slow naturist day: Pack water, snacks and shade, go straight to Laggeri Beach for a full day of swimming, reading and sunbathing, then return to Naoussa or another village for a simple evening meal.
  • Mixed beach and village: Combine a few relaxed hours at Laggeri with an afternoon visit to Lefkes or another inland village from the Paros villages guide for a change of scenery.

All of these combinations work well as part of a wider plan built around the best beaches in Paros and the Naoussa, Paros village guide, plus one or two boat tours in Paros to see Naoussa Bay from the water.

Laggeri Beach, Paros: FAQs

Parts of Laggeri Beach are long established as naturist friendly, especially towards the more remote ends of the bay. You will also find textile visitors, so it is a mixed but generally relaxed and respectful environment.

The water is shallow and the sand is soft, which is good for kids, but there are no facilities, no lifeguard and some naturist areas. Families who want services and clear separation usually prefer beaches like Monastiri, Golden Beach or Aliki Beach.

The easiest way is by car or scooter, following roads towards Santa Maria then continuing on a dirt track and walking the final stretch through sand and low vegetation. In summer, you can also ask locally about taxis or private transfers in Paros that go close to the access point.

There are informal parking spots at the end of the dirt road. In July and August they can fill up, so arrive earlier in the day and be careful not to block access or drive on sensitive dunes.

No. Laggeri Beach is not organised. You should bring your own umbrella, water and snacks, and treat it as a semi wild beach day.

In strong meltemi it can feel quite exposed with choppy water and blown sand. On those days, more sheltered beaches like Monastiri Beach or parts of Santa Maria Beach usually work better.

There is no direct bus to the sand. You can take a bus to Naoussa or towards Santa Maria and then continue by taxi, private transfer or on foot, but this takes more planning than simply driving.

The path from the informal parking to the beach is a simple walk through low vegetation and sand. In daylight it is normally fine, but bring water, sun protection and do not leave valuables visible in your vehicle.

Bring water, snacks, sun protection, a beach umbrella or shade if possible, and anything else you need for a self sufficient beach day, since there are no services on the sand.

It is busier than in shoulder months, but because it is long and wild, it usually feels less crowded than organised beaches. You may need to walk a bit along the shore to find a quieter patch.

Yes. Many people combine Laggeri with beaches like Santa Maria, Small Santa Maria or Kolymbithres from the best beaches in Paros guide, plus an evening in Naoussa.
