Nestled at the base of the open-air Lindos Acropolis museum, Lindos Beach is renowned as one of Rhodes Island’s most picturesque spots. Not only does its natural beauty captivate visitors, but its unique setting allows for an easy blend of leisure and learning.
The coast of Lindos features a bay shielded on both sides, ensuring calm waters that are rare to see waves. The tranquil, crystal-clear sea is perfect for families. Spanning roughly 700 meters, the beach boasts a wide expanse of golden sand.
The beach at Lindos is split into two distinct areas. To the right lies Pallas Beach, sharing its name with a nearby tavern, while the central beach is known as Megali Paralia. Both shores feature shallow waters with gentle entries, perfect for bathing.
Recognized for its cleanliness with the Blue Flag award, Lindos beach provides ample facilities. Visitors can enjoy beach bars for refreshing drinks, loungers, sun umbrellas, restrooms, and showers. A snack kiosk is also available, and lifeguards are on duty for safety.

Lindos harbor is home to tour boats ready to whisk visitors along the scenic coast of Rhodes. Additionally, the nearby St. Paul’s Bay is easily accessible by sea for a quick getaway.
Experiencing the sunset at Lindos Beach is a must. As twilight descends, the city lights up, offering a stunning panorama of Lindos and its Acropolis from the coast.
