Tsagkaris Pastry Hydra - ask for Dimitris! Karamela - get the pistachio!
Most people in Hydra take dips by jumping off cliffside at the walkable-from-port Hydronetta or Spilia beach bars with the locals! For beaches with chairs + umbrellas, try Vlichos, Bellavia, Avlaki, Agios Nikolaos (further by water taxi), or Mandraki (the only sand beach and the priciest). Line up at the port and take the beach-run water taxis—rides are usually ~€10, and chairs around €30/day and up (they’ll confirm prices at the port). I’d skip Lefteraki’s since we’ll be hosting our beach party there on Day 2!
