About this beach

Vai has partial shelter in the meltemi — calm some days, choppy on stronger ones. That comes from the measured shape of the coastline around it and our curated wind records — a seasonal picture, not a live forecast, so check live wind and waves before you go.

The bay at Vai opens to the north-west, so it usually has natural cover from southerly, south-easterly and south-westerly winds.

Vai has sand and pebbles underfoot with shallow, gently shelving water.
