It is located in an idyllic setting where the trees come right up to the white beach,  where the turquoise colours of the sea make the beach like a  Caribbean beach. The beach at Golden Beach is located on the northern side of the bay and adjacent to the beach Chrissis Akti (Golden Coast) at Skala Potamias which is in the south of the bay. It is a 2.5 kilometre long sandy beach where all kinds of watersports are possible . The beach is well organised and there are beach chairs and umbrellas available.
