St. Pauls Bay beaches
St Paul’s Bay is a picturesque bay just south of Lindos on the southeast coast of Rhodes.
It is claimed that St Paul landed here in the year 51 AD to preach Christianity to the Rhodians. The small church built on the hillside is a very popular wedding location, most likely because of the beautiful views of the bay and Lindos Acropolis.
The beaches in St Paul’s Bay
There are two beaches in the bay. The large beach (photo above) in the southern end is a manmade beach with golden sand. The smaller beach (photo below) at the northern end of the bay is a mix of sand and gravel.
Facilities at both beaches include sun loungers, sun shades, toilets and a café. Parking is possible close to the beaches. Both beaches in St Paul’s Bay are relatively uncrowded and very relaxed.
Child-friendliness
The almost enclosed bay has very calm waters, and both beaches in St. Paul’s Bay are child-friendly.
Water sports
The bay is a great place for snorkelling and diving. No other water sports.
Beach restaurants
There is a café/restaurant at both beaches. The best is Tambakio Restaurant at the southernmost beach. We can recommend booking a table for dinner in the romantic surroundings.
Lindos Village
The lovely village of Lindos is one of the most attractive and beautiful villages of Rhodes and an idyllic holiday destination. The village is full of whitewashed houses with pebble-paved courtyards, narrow alleys and painted ceilings. Hotels of all categories as well as restaurants, cafés and bars can be found in and just outside Lindos.
Above Lindos rises the Acropolis of Lindos, a feast of delightful ancient architecture and spectacular views. It can be reached by foot or donkey.
St Paul’s Bay map
The historic town of Lindos with all its whitewashed houses can be seen in the middle of the map. To the right of Lindos are the remains of the Acropolis fortress. From here, there is a magnificent view of the beautiful St. Paul’s Bay, which is located south of Lindos. The largest of the beaches in St. Paul’s Bay is located furthest south.
