Brounou Beach

Brounou Beach is a small local beach in Sithonia, less known to tourists. Its clientele mainly consists of local families and Thessaloniki residents with summer homes nearby.

The shoreline is sandy with pebbles in places, of small to medium length, featuring a shallow bottom. There is free access without official organization. A few sunbeds are available in certain areas, and a cantina may appear on peak days.

The waters are reasonably clean. For swimming: it is safe with shallow waters close to the shore, suitable for children. For snorkeling: moderate opportunities mainly at the rocky edges.

Clientele: locals, rarely foreign tourists. A quiet atmosphere even during peak season.

Access: via provincial roads from a nearby village. Free parking is available at the edges of the beach.

Bring water, snacks, towels, and sunscreen. Shade: it may be limited — check for trees at the back or bring an umbrella.

For a meal after swimming, a short drive will take you to tavernas in nearby villages of Sithonia. The area has several decent options for traditional cuisine at affordable prices.

Best time: June-September. For a more relaxed experience, aim for non-peak weekdays when the beach is almost exclusive to those in the know.
