Paradise Beach

Many people flock to Mykonos for two reasons: beaches and parties. A trip to the southern coast and Paradise Beach -- Mykonos' original nudist beach -- will kill both birds with one stone. Soft sands, azure seas and a rowdy atmosphere have made Paradise one of the most popular places on the island. Paradise has become more developed over the past few years and now features a nearby strip of resort hotels, restaurants and beloved carousing spots like the Tropicana Beach Bar and Cavo Paradiso Club. If you're not one for built-up beaches, head east along the coast to the Super Paradise Beach; although it lacks many of the amenities, the party scene attracts barely clothed bathers and a large portion of Mykonos' LGBT community.

Paradise Beach sits about two miles (four kilometers) south of Chora and can be reached on foot or by bus or boat. The beach is open 24/7 and you don't have to pay to lounge. However, you may want to bring some euros with you just in case your glass runs dry.
