Lindos's main sandy beach curves north from the village, protected from open-sea swells by the headland. The water is clear and the setting, with the Acropolis towering above the village behind, is exceptionally photogenic. Sunbeds, umbrellas, a beach bar, and watersports equipment are all available; the beach is organised but not overcrowded except in the height of summer.
The approach from the village takes about 5 minutes on foot, descending the main street through the village to the beach road. The beach is accessible from the coastal road from Rhodes City; day visitors arriving by car park in the lot above the village. The northern end of the beach is quieter and has fewer organised sunbeds.
