There are watersports but not anywhere near the shore or the Golden Beach end, they're towards Skala Potamia, which is the busier and more touristy resort.(There are dodgems and street sellers!)
Thankfully Skala Potamia is a good 20 minute wander along the sand (not really advisable at night as you really can't see where you're going).
The best beach we went to was Paradise beach, further along the east coast of Thassos, about a 15 minute drive from Golden Beach (Or 30 mins on the bus).
