The 8 Best Beaches in Rhodes (And How to Reach Each One)
📅 Updated June 2026✍️ By Lynx Premium Transfers⏱️ 8 min read
With over 220 km of coastline, Rhodes serves up everything from windswept surf bays to glassy coves you’ll want all to yourself. Here are the eight beaches worth planning your day around — and exactly how to get to them.
1. Anthony Quinn Bay
A jewel-like rocky cove near Faliraki, named after the actor who fell in love with it while filming The Guns of Navarone. The water is impossibly clear and ideal for snorkelling, though there’s little sand — bring water shoes.
2. Tsambika Beach
A long sweep of golden sand with shallow, warm water, making it a favourite for families. The monastery on the hill above offers a panoramic reward for the energetic.

3. Prasonisi
At the island’s southern tip, a sandbar joins Rhodes to a small islet — calm sea on one side, wind-whipped waves on the other. It’s a world-class spot for windsurfing and kitesurfing.
4. St Paul’s Bay, Lindos
A sheltered, near-circular lagoon beneath the Lindos Acropolis. Postcard-perfect and calm enough for confident swimmers to cross.
5. Agathi (Golden) Beach
A crescent of soft sand near the Castle of Feraklos, with shallow water and a laid-back, uncommercial feel.
6. Kallithea Springs
Less a beach than an experience — restored 1920s Art Deco thermal baths set around small swimming coves. Beautiful for photos and a memorable dip.
7. Fourni Beach
A remote, dramatic cove on the wild west-south coast below Monolithos castle. You’ll need a car to reach it, and that’s exactly why it stays quiet — it’s near several of our favourite hidden mountain villages.
8. Elli Beach, Rhodes Town
The main town beach — organised, central, and great if you want sunbeds, cafés and a swim within walking distance of the Old Town of Rhodes.
Insider tip: Many of the best beaches — Prasonisi, Fourni, Agathi — are far from public bus routes or poorly served. A private day transfer lets you chain two or three coves into one perfect coastal day. See our guide to getting around Rhodes for the smartest way to plan it.
The further you’re willing to drive from Rhodes Town, the emptier and clearer the water gets.
