BEACH

RECOMMENDATION

PICTURESQUE

Located just beneath the iconic whitewashed village and the ancient Acropolis of Lindos, the main beach is one of the most popular on Rhodes’ east coast. With calm, shallow waters and soft golden sand, it's an ideal spot to relax, soak up the sun, and enjoy a refreshing swim. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with children, Lindos beach offers something for everyone.

Lindos Bay, known for its sandy beaches

Reaching Lindos Main Beach is easy and offers several scenic options, depending on your preferred mode of transportation. Many visitors arrive by tour bus, either as part of an organized day trip or on our Lindos Express, which drops you off just above the village, a short walk from the beach. If you’re driving, you can reach Lindos from Rhodes Town in about 50 minutes—just follow the well-marked coastal road south and park either in one of the paid lots near the beach or in the larger parking areas above the village. Taxis are another comfortable choice, especially for those staying nearby, and they can drop you off conveniently close to the pedestrian zone. For a more unique experience, some travelers arrive by tour boat, docking at the small pier on Lindos Bay and walking directly onto the sand. However you choose to arrive, the journey is part of the adventure, and the destination never disappoints.

For the best parking spots, aim to arrive before 09:30, especially during the summer. Be mindful not to block narrow village streets—parking can be tight, and local access is important.

The beach is well-organized, offering plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas, as well as a few cozy tavernas and beach bars where you can enjoy a cold drink or a light lunch right by the sea. The water is usually calm—ideal for swimming or simply floating and forgetting the world. And for those who like a little more action, there are pedal boats and SUP boards for hire, giving you a fun way to explore the gentle bay.

One of the most unique features of Lindos beach is its backdrop. Look up, and you’ll see the Acropolis perched high on the hill, a stunning reminder of the area’s ancient roots. Few places offer this combination of beach relaxation and historical charm in one postcard-perfect setting. Lindos Main Beach is just a few minutes’ walk from the village center, making it easy to combine sightseeing, shopping, and beach time all in one day.
