It is real mystery why Sifnos is not known for its beaches. There are not many, but most of the beaches are fantastic with an amazing sand that is like it has been mixed with golden fairy dust.

• Vathy (Southwest Sifnos): Vathy, along with Platis Gialos, are the most popular beaches of Sifnos. Much like Platis Gialos, Vathy is a long beautiful sandy beach.
• Platys Gialos (Southeast Sifnos): Platys Gialos, meaning the wide beach, truly honors its name. It is one of the most popular sandy beaches of Sifnos.
• Fasolou (Southeast Sifnos): Fasolou is very different from the others, as it is not pure sand and it is much smaller. As a result it is one of the less popular beaches.
• Apokofto (Southeast Sifnos): A lovely rather small beach with sand next to Chrysopigi Monastery. Along the beach there are large tamarisk trees, and right behind them lies a tavern with parking space.
• Faros (Southeast Sifnos): Faros Beach is located at the small harbor of the settlement of the same name. It is small but features clear waters, tamarisk trees, and several places to eat. Vlycho Beach is situated in the bay right next to it.
• Vlycho (Southeast Sifnos): The beautiful Vlycho beach is slightly larger and more picturesque than the neighboring Faros beach, though it lacks amenities. The path leading to the next cove?home to Chrysopigi?also starts here. Vlycho is a lovely beach with sand, shallow waters and many tamarisk trees, but due to its size, it fills up quickly. An accessible path leading to Panagia Chrysopigi begins here.
• Kamares (Northwest Sifnos): Kamares is the beach of the harbor, but it is surprisingly clean. It is long with shallow waters and a fantastic sand.
• Heronissos (North Sifnos): Heronissos is a little sandy beach at the north part of Sifnos with two great seafood taverns at its ends.
