Tsambika Beach
Τσαμπίκα
A fine golden-sand bay on the east coast, enclosed by two headlands, with shallow, clear water. It is often rated one of Rhodes’ most beautiful beaches.
Tsambika Beach lies between Faliraki and Lindos, just north of the village of Archangelos. The roughly 800-metre-long bay of fine golden sand is sheltered by rocky headlands on either side. The water is shallow and clear, and the gentle slope suits families who want to paddle and play. The beach has paid sunbeds and umbrellas, a bar-restaurant and watersports stalls, and the southern end is quieter. Midday in summer is crowded. The car park is close to the sand, so arriving early in high season makes it easier to find a space. From Rhodes city it is about a 40-minute drive. You can also take a KTEL bus toward Lindos, get off at the junction and walk about 1.5 km downhill. The beach has almost no natural shade, so use sunscreen and drink plenty of water.
