Discover The Top 14

On an island shaped by sun, sea, and history, Rhodes’ beaches offer a remarkable range of landscapes and moods. Each one is a different memory waiting to be made — all you need is a map to find the ones meant for you. 

On the west coast, windswept shores meet a more elemental energy. To the east, calm, shallow bays offer moments of stillness. Some beaches sit beneath ancient ruins; others are hidden coves carved into the island’s quieter edges.

Whether you’re staying in the cosmopolitan north, the serene south, a visual guide makes it easier to explore Rhodes’ coast at your own pace.

 Selected Rhodes Beaches of Note

To help you navigate Rhodes’ diverse coastline, we’ve grouped these standout beaches by the type of experience they offer.

For Energy and Atmosphere

1. Ixia Beach

A cosmopolitan shoreline close to Rhodes Town, Ixia is ideal for those who seek movement — from windsurfing and promenades to golden-hour cocktails. It’s also home to Amus Hotel & Spa by H Hotels Collection, where contemporary design and elevated leisure meet the pulse of the Aegean.

2. Faliraki Beach

Expansive and full of life, Faliraki is one of the island’s most animated beaches, with sunbeds, beach bars, and watersports creating a vibrant energy from morning to evening.

3. Afandou Beach

Long, pebbled, and pleasantly uncrowded, Afandou offers clear waters and a sense of space. It’s ideal for casual beach games or a more laid-back swim, just minutes from the buzz of Faliraki.

For Serenity and Stillness

4. Kiotari Beach

On the island’s southeast, the Blue Flag beach of Kiotari offers a sense of ease and escape. With calm waters and a low-key atmosphere, it’s a favourite for those seeking quiet sophistication. Several H Hotels Collection properties are located along Kiotari Beach Rhodes, just steps from the sea.

5. Lardos Beach

Family-friendly and relaxed, Lardos has soft pebbles, clear waters, and a welcoming feel. It’s also home to Lindos Princess Beach Hotel  — an H Hotels Collection property for families that blends beachfront charm with the comforts of refined hospitality.

6. Stegna Beach

A peaceful, lesser-known beach with a local vibe and family-run tavernas. Perfect for slow afternoons, unhurried meals, and quiet dips.

7. Kalathos Beach

Vast and open, Kalathos invites long walks and quiet moments. Its coarse sand and minimal crowds make it ideal for travellers seeking space and simplicity.

For Scenery and Heritage

8. Lindos Beach

Beneath the whitewashed village and ancient Acropolis lies Lindos Beach — iconic, picturesque, and deeply rooted in history. A place where the island’s soul meets the sea.

9. Anthony Quinn Bay

Named after the actor who fell in love with it during filming, this small cove offers emerald waters, rocky outcrops, and cinematic beauty.

10. Tsambika Beach

A sweeping arc of golden sand framed by hills and crowned by the monastery above. Popular, yet never impersonal — a true Rhodes highlight.

11. Saint Paul’s Bay

Tucked just beside Lindos, this heart-shaped cove is overlooked by a small white chapel. Sheltered and serene, it’s a favourite for weddings, romantic swims, and quiet reflection.

12. Agathi Beach

Soft, golden sand and shallow, warm waters make Agathi ideal for families and gentle swims. A small canteen and natural beauty complete its quiet charm.

For the Elemental and Untamed

13. Prasonisi Beach

At the southernmost tip of Rhodes, Prasonisi is where the Aegean and Mediterranean meet. A narrow stretch of sand connects the mainland to a small island, drawing surfers, adventurers, and seekers of wind and wildness.

14. Fourni Beach

Untouched and remote, Fourni Beach lies on the rugged west coast near Monolithos. There are no sunbeds or facilities — just cliffs, clear waters, and total seclusion.

Every Beach, a Different Story

The beaches of Rhodes are not meant to be rushed. Each one invites something different — reflection, exhilaration, stillness, or awe. Use this Rhodes beaches map as a quiet guide, not a checklist. Discover what calls to you, and let the journey unfold from there.
