Pachis Thassos

Pachis beach is a long strip of pine shaded sand about 6km west of Limenas, before you reach Skala Rachonis. It is easy to miss as there is no village there and the main road is fairly long and straight, so passers by tend to be travelling at speed. The beach comes just after the headland as the road swings south west and nears the seashore.
The beach is unmarked and there is just a sand and gravel car park with a tarmac road that leads down past a small hotel/taverna. The approach to the sands is down a track from the car park. There is a large beach taverna to the south which you will probably hear before you see, such is the owner's taste for disco, and a long sandy beach stretching for 1km or so to the north east.
Sun beds and parasols are strung out along the shore though there is plenty of shade from the scattered pines the cover the back of the beach. Another smaller and quieter taverna nestles among the trees before the beach thins out and the sun beds disappear. The sand turns more to shingle here and there are rocks underfoot out to sea until it ends at the concrete sea wall of a small hotel complex.
As the nearest beach to Limenas, apart from Makryammos in the other direction (which has its bad points) it gets quite a bit of custom but not a great deal as it is relatively unknown, goes unremarked upon websites and, as far as I can find, appears on none of the island maps.
