Paros has a couple of excellent beaches, though the heavily promoted and horribly exposed beaches on the east coast - such as Golden Beach - are not the ones.
Kolumbythres is very, very small but very, very lovely. Soft sand strewn with bizarre Gaudi-ish rocks, totally protected, shallow and crystal clear water, this should be a prime target for people with toddlers, though there's not much in the way of services available, if any. Own transport will be needed.
The island generally is a surprise. As a transport hub for the Cyclades Island group you might expect it to be a big port and nothing more, but it has some good beaches - including one right beside the small port, a stupendous church that is the oldest in use in Greece, and a charming little old quarter [picture] with no shortage of romantic bars and restaurants.
