Logaras Beach
Relaxed sandy bay with tavernas, buses and easy family swims
Logaras Beach in Paros is a relaxed, sandy bay on the east coast, just next to Piso Livadi. It feels like a classic Greek summer beach: tavernas on the waterfront, kids playing in the shallows and a mix of locals and visitors who prefer something calmer than a full beach club scene. It is one of the easiest beaches to use as a base if you want simple swimming, food steps from the sand and quick access to other east-coast highlights from the wider Paros beaches guide.

Where Logaras Beach sits on the island
Logaras Beach is on the east to south-east side of Paros, a few minutes south of Piso Livadi. It sits in the sweet-spot stretch between Molos and Drios Beach, where many locals feel the island is at its best.
- From Parikia (port): roughly 25 minutes by car in normal traffic.
- From Naoussa: about 15 minutes by car.
- From Paros airport: around 25 minutes by car.
You can also reach Logaras by bus, usually via routes that connect Parikia with Piso Livadi and the surrounding area in summer, which makes it one of the easier options in the east-coast beaches cluster.
How Logaras Beach feels through the season
Logaras stays fairly low key compared with the headline beaches, even in August. It has enough people to feel alive, without the “festival” feeling of places like Santa Maria Beach.
- May – June: Calm, local and relaxed. Great time if you want space and warm-enough water without crowds.
- July – August: Semi crowded at peak times, but still feels human. Families, couples and groups share the sand and tavern tables.
- September – October: Softer light, fewer people, water still pleasant. Ideal for long, lazy swims and slow lunches.
Daytime is all about swimming and food. Evenings are gentle: people finish up on the beach, shower, then walk back for dinner by the water or head to Piso Livadi or Naoussa for more buzz.
Sea, sand and water at Logaras Beach
- Sand: Soft, golden sand on the beach with mostly sandy entry into the water.
- Water: Clear and usually calm, with a gentle slope that works very well for kids and less confident swimmers.
- Depth: Shallow near the shore, gradually getting deeper without sudden drops.
- Wind and waves: Logaras is somewhat protected on northerly meltemi days, which is a big reason locals like this area in high summer. On southerly winds, the sea is even more protected.
- Shade: There are some spots of natural shade behind parts of the beach, plus shade from umbrellas in organised sections when they run.
Overall, Logaras feels like a safe, easy beach: simple to walk into the water, easy to keep an eye on kids and close to everything you need. If you are choosing between east-coast bases in the best beaches in Paros guide, Logaras is one of the gentler options.
Access, parking and getting there
- By car or scooter: Follow the signs toward Piso Livadi and Logaras. The road is straightforward, with just a few narrower sections near the village side.
- Parking: You usually park along the streets behind the beach or in informal parking areas nearby. In July and August you may need to park a little further back and walk 3–5 minutes.
- By bus: Summer buses run between Parikia and the east coast. There is a bus stop a short walk from the sand, so you can come and go without a vehicle.
- On foot: Piso Livadi is a realistic and pleasant walk along the seafront, so many people treat the two as one larger area.
If you plan to beach hop widely or explore hidden coves, consider car rentals in Paros or ATV and scooter rentals in Paros. For a simple base-and-bus holiday, Logaras works very well with public transport, possibly topped up with occasional private transfers.
Food, drinks and services at Logaras Beach
Logaras has exactly what most people need and not much more, which is part of its charm.
- Waterfront tavernas: A handful of classic Greek tavernas line the beach, serving fish, grilled meats, salads and meze right by the water.
- Cafés and bars: Low key spots for coffee, juice, beer or a simple cocktail, usually open from morning through late evening in summer.
- Mini-market: Small shops and supermarkets in Marpissa and Piso Livadi cover basics like water, snacks and beach supplies.
- Sunbeds: In peak season you can often find organised sunbed and umbrella sets along parts of the beach, with service from the nearby tavernas.
- Showers and basics: Expect simple beach infrastructure rather than a fully built-up resort strip.
For more restaurant variety, you can walk or drive to Piso Livadi, which has extra tavernas, a sushi option and a couple of small bars, all within the same east-coast micro-area highlighted in the Paros villages guide.
Who Logaras Beach works best for
- Families with kids: Shallow water, relaxed atmosphere and tavernas close to the sand make Logaras easy with children.
- Couples: Good if you like quiet swims, simple lunches and the option to drive or bus to Naoussa for a bigger night out.
- Slow travellers and digital nomads: Works nicely as a base together with nearby Marpissa and Piso Livadi, especially if you value calm over parties.
- First-time visitors: A gentle introduction to the east coast that is close to some of the best beaches in Paros like Golden Beach and Molos.
- Non-drivers: The bus stop and walkable connection with Piso Livadi give you options even without a car.
If you want loud beach clubs or all-day parties, Logaras is probably too soft. In that case, look toward Santa Maria, Punda Beach (east) or Parasporos.
