Good to know
Which beaches in Mykonos 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 18 of the beaches on this page, the open water in front of them is typically 0.65 m in June, 0.78 m in July and 0.79 m in August when the meltemi is at its strongest, and 0.73 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 18 of the beaches on this page the sea is typically 18.4 °C in May, 21.6 °C in June, 23.6 °C in July, 24.4 °C in August and 23.8 °C in September — ideal at the height of summer, mild in June. By October it is 21.5 °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.
