Good to know
Which beaches in Andros have a beach bar?
The beaches listed here are recorded as having a bar on the beach itself, not only a taverna in the village. Bars are seasonal and change hands, so confirm before making the trip.
Is a beach bar the same as an organized beach?
No. An organized beach has sunbeds and umbrellas, which a beach bar does not always come with — and some quiet beaches have a bar and nothing else. Open a beach to see exactly what it is recorded as having.
When is the sea calmest here?
Across 8 of the beaches on this page, the open water in front of them is typically 0.78 m in June, 0.97 m in July and 1.02 m in August when the meltemi is at its strongest, and 0.92 m in September. June is the calmest month of the season. We calculate these figures ourselves from European Copernicus wave-model data at 4.2 km resolution. They describe the sea offshore, not the shelter of an individual cove — a bay protected by a headland will usually be calmer than this.
How warm is the water, month by month?
Off 8 of the beaches on this page the sea is typically 18.3 °C in May, 21.7 °C in June, 24.0 °C in July, 24.8 °C in August and 24.1 °C in September — ideal at the height of summer, mild in June. By October it is 21.7 °C. August is the warmest month. Satellite measurements, 1995–2024, from a sea cell about 5 km offshore; shallow bays usually run warmer than this.
