Hohlidia - Vardia - Katergo - Livadi - Agali - Ayios Nikolaos - Livadaki - Ampeli - Ayios Georgios - Voreina - Serfiotiko: At Folegandros's beaches, the scene is set by clear waters, green shingle seabed, secluded sandy coves shaded by tamarisks, and tavernas serving fresh fish by the water. Beaches are accessible by fishing boat, car, or bus, while the more secluded beaches are best reached on foot. Folegandros is an ideal destination for walks and hikes thanks to an extensive network of footpaths framed by dry stone walls leading past old mills, abandoned haystacks, canyons, and remote chapels.
Karavostasis (Hohlidia): Located just off the harbor at Karavostasis, this beach extends off the settlement along the shore. Recommended for families, the beach is shaded by tamarisks and lined with bars, tavernas, and hotels. In summer, children can take swimming and sailing lessons organized by the Folegandros Nautical Club. The beach is sand and pebble, with a sand seabed. It's ideal for children as one end is quite shallow and the cove is sheltered from winds so the water is rarely choppy.
Livadi: Located on the island southeastern shore, the beach is next to a sparsely populated resort. It's reached by car from Karavostasis. Tamarisks offer shade, and there's a restaurant within the grounds of the organized camping site. The beach has fine belles and a sand seabed.
Agali: Located on the southern shore, the beach extends from a resort settlement. It's reached by bus, private vehicle, or boat from Karavostasis. Agali is a good choice for families.
