- sophLiverpool, United Kingdom37 contributionsLovely beachLovely beach, water is shallow and very clear no seaweed or rubbish. Sun beds are about €20 which is decent price and it’s not too crowded. The restaurant is also reasonably priced for being on the beach with quite a few options. Only bad thing is there are a lot of boats so it’s difficult to swim deeperVisited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten September 22, 2023
- Nina AToronto, Canada26 contributionsSt Paul’s BayThe best beach on the island. Yes it’s pricey BUT you will find the best loungers, the best views and service, and the best area for swimming. Had a fantastic day away from crazy crowds on other beaches . Wish I found this earlier in my trip.Visited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten September 29, 2023
- HolidayLover3 contributionsGreat Place To VisitLovely sandy beach. Definitely worth a visit. We paid 20euros for 2 sun beds which seemed like a good price. Sea is clear. No sea weed or rubbish floating around. Nice food up at the dolphins restaurant aswellVisited May 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten May 22, 2024
- Lyndsayloo2001West Sussex, United Kingdom9 contributionsBeautiful place to visitSuch a beautiful place. The town of Lindos is beautiful, so nice to walk though and browse the shops. We ate at Alex's in the bay/Harbour and the food was delicious and lots of it. The water is so clear, with many people swimming in the shallow bay. Wish we had more time there as you need more than 4hrsVisited May 2024Travelled with familyWritten June 1, 2024
- Deborah KCarbondale, Colorado64 contributionsSpend some precious time here !I really wished I would have had time to swim and relax here! Lovely beach! I traveled with a friend unbeknownst to me that doesn’t like beach experience; so I took an ankle deep experience and left. Please do your self a favor and spend a fees hours here! Great beautiful swimming beach! Enjoy! That’s what we were put on this planet for!Visited June 2024Travelled with friendsWritten June 9, 2024
- richard l17 contributionsAmazingI came here when my boy was 3 years old and he's 18 now and he still remembers trying to catch the Nemo fish with his small net that he got from one of the beach shops. We spent all afternoon on this beach and didn't want to leave , the decent down to the beach consists of a very old traditional Greek town with beautiful white and blue buildings houses and shops. My advice would be to walk down to the beach rather that getting a donkey lift, that way you can take in the beauty of this place and also get gifts and refreshments on you way down. This is one of the best beaches I've ever visited. I've always said that you can not go to Rhodes without going to lindos. Me and my son are coming back to Rhodes in October 2024 , we are staying near the old town so that my son can see all the ancient buildings etc... although I have told him that I am taking him on a trip to lindos bay so that he can see it now that he is older . Can't waitVisited July 2024Travelled with familyWritten July 30, 2024
- Ola THalmstad, Sweden44 contributionsVery nice sand beach with clear water just by beautiful Lindos city.Very nice sand beach with very clear water. No bathing shoes are needed. But it’s a fairly small beach and quite crowded. Lindos city is very beautiful with its traditional white Greek houses and tight alleys. Lots of shops in all categories. So it’s well worth a visit. We skipped the Acropolis though, we thought the line was a bit too long and the entrance fee a bit too high for a family of four.Visited August 2024Travelled with familyWritten August 8, 2024

Great location the water is great clear water You have to pay €10 for deck chairs for 2 if you are family 4 little to expensive . Like the free parking round the beach coming from UK not used to free parking . However take cask with you all ATM there ran out of cash and the beach chairs take only cash . If your hotel is other side of Island o recommend hire car and drive to Lindos as day trip is worth visit . The water and sand amazing the village there even great day out .

Beach chair for 2 (no time limit) was 10 euros. However, if you come after 11am, it is very crowded and hard to get a spot. And YOU NEED an umbrella on this beach, the Greek sun will kill you during the day. Come early, many parking spots but come early, otherwise, you will need to drive around a bit looking for parking.
Nothing special to say about restaurants around, expect toursity prices but seafood is fresh like all other restaurants on the island. 2.50 eur bottle water, 4.50 eur orange juice, etc etc.
Overall, water temperature is AWESOME!!! Water depth is very good and suitable for everyone, small kids, family etc.

The other reviewers saying the water is “crystal clear” are NOT telling the truth. As of July 2022 the water is green and murky. Two sunbeds will cost you 20€ and 3 are 25€. The umbrellas are very tiny and give you minimal shade. There are only 3 bigger umbrellas that can adequately provide shade for 3 sunbeds. The beach is very crowded. Skip this over-hyped tourist trap.

Extortionate price for sunbirds prices from €20 to €70 for two beds. You are like sardines with just one or two feet between beds so no privacy. There is no option to sit on the sand as it’s all taken up with sun beds. St Paula bay is full of tacky cabanas wooden four poster beds with curtains. Big boats all day offloading day trippers. Beautiful bays spoilt by too much commercialisation.

Spent 4.5 hours at the beach. €7.50 each for a sunbed and umbrella. Got in early 10.30 and beat the tourists being ferried in. Probably busier June/July?
We'd walked from "donkey square" and it was hot but ok.
Drinks or nibbles at the cafes were similar to town and there are several mini-marts and beach paraphernalia shops.
The water was crystal clear and refreshing. There was a rudimentary shower for a rinse after swimming.
It seemed easier to get to/from than the other beaches and a donkey was available for the trip, presumably €8, one way.
Loved it.👍

The car park nearest to the beach is small, so can be difficult to find a space during busier times of the year.
It's a steep slope down to the beach itself, so may not be so easily accessible for those with medical issues.
There are a minimal number of sunbeds that are quite expensive. The sunbeds appear to be under the control of someone within Dimitris' Beach Bar - to say the owner is exceptionally rude would be an understatement, but those working for him collecting money and ordering drinks are pleasant.
We didn't stop long.

Umm, I don't think I will ever return to this beach which is such a shame. Peak season so absolutely rammed with people on sun beds no more than 50cms apart. I don't smoke but must of inhaled numerous cigarette smoke as I was so close to people and the butts were all over the beach. Not a great environment for children although as a family we agreed to leave within the hour as it was not enjoyable. This was highly annoying as we paid 30 euro for some crappy sun beds from a VERY rude man! Now I can fully appreciate I'm British and we don't appear to be received well at the moment in various countries but absolutely no need to speak to me so rudely. I've been holidaying in various Greek islands for years but never found such a rude man selling sun beds! I feel so sad to say this about what once was such a lovely beach. Hopefully this will change for future guests.

Wanted to charge 50 euro per umbrella and two sunloungers for the day.
We needed three brollies and six beds and they wanted 150 euro.
No chance. Also won’t allow you to drink your own water let alone food so sting you on that too. Oh and 5 euro to park. We didn’t pay for beds and left.
Try Grande Blue Stegna or Stegna bay itself near charaki bay, as far better and only 15 euro per lounger and two beds.
Don’t be taken for a ride and ripped off.
Been coming to Rhodes for years yet won’t get taken for a mug!

The water smelt of oil/gas and you could see oil on its surface. The beach was rammed full of overpriced sun beds, to the point where you are almost forced into paying for one as there is no room to put your own towel down. There are business owners stood at the beach entrance immediately trying to get you to pay for sun beds or eat in their overpriced restaurants.
The swimming area was a free-for all of swimmers, rental boats and an armarda of pedalos, all crammed into a small area due to the harbour being situated just beyond the beach.
The only pro of the visit was there is a good view of the acropolis and some good people watching due to the density of people there.

Shuttle bus goes from the bus stop at the top of the steep road down to the square, then down to the beach, back up to the square then up to the main road again. Cost is 50 cents - runs regularly every day.

Hi! is there any parking near to the beach? is it free or should I have to pay for it? in this case, where can I buy the tickets for the parking? thank you very much!!
Ciao vorrei sapere se vicino alla spiaggia c'è un parcheggio, se è libero o a pagamento. Se è a pagamento, dove si possono comprare i biglietti per il parcheggio? grazie mille!

Ci sono molti parcheggi gratuiti ma ti consiglio di andare presto perché altrimenti rischi di non trovare posto perché è una meta molto gettonata!
