Lalaria, White pebble beach in Skiathos, Greece.
Lalaria is a beach on the northern coast of Skiathos characterized by a narrow cove filled with white, rounded pebbles enclosed by tall limestone cliffs. These cliffs extend into the sea and create a dramatic setting for this remote shoreline.
The beach remained largely unknown to outsiders until international recognition in the 2010s brought it wider attention. This sudden visibility prompted local planning to protect it from overcrowding.
The white pebbles are central to how locals see and protect this place, reflecting its role as a natural treasure worth defending. Visitors feel this care when they walk across the distinctive shoreline.
Access to this beach is by boat only from Skiathos Town, with no road reaching the location. Plan extra travel time and check sea conditions, as waters can become rough.
Natural stone arches and caves carved by erosion emerge directly from the turquoise waters along the cliff faces. These formations shift subtly over time, giving the cove an otherworldly quality.
