The beach's natural characteristics include a sandy exterior with relatively large stones at the entrance of the water. Further inside, the seabed turns back to sand. The beach is also adorned with tamarisks, a type of tree that provides shade. Visitors can enjoy the sight of the sun setting over the mountains in the distance.
In terms of amenities, Paralia Mpoukas has a shower and a changing area. There is also a small shop nearby where visitors can purchase coffee and food. As for parking, it can be a bit challenging due to the beach's small size. It is recommended to visit the beach early in the morning or after 5.00-6.00 to find a parking spot.
The beach is easily accessible by bike, making it a popular destination for cyclists. Visitors are encouraged to keep the beach clean and free of garbage to preserve its natural beauty and protect the environment.
