Tigaki Beach
Τιγκάκι
A long beach of fine sand on the north coast with shallow, gentle waves, ideal for family swimming, and backed by the Alykes salt lake wetland.
Tigaki lies about 11 km west of Kos Town. Its sand stretches for several kilometres and the water is clear and shallow. In summer, when the winds are strong, it is good for windsurfing. The beach is divided into bar-and-lounger zones and natural sections. You can cycle there from Kos Town along a flat cycle path, and buses run frequently. From the eastern side of the beach you can see Kalymnos and Pserimos. The Alykes salt lake next door has flamingos in winter and spring.
