About this beach

Star Beach is exposed in the meltemi — often choppy on summer N/NE days. 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 shoreline at Star Beach faces north-east, so it usually has natural cover from southerly, south-easterly and south-westerly winds.

Star Beach has sand underfoot with shallow, gently shelving water — handy for families with young children.

For amenities, Star Beach has an organised beach, a beach bar, sunbeds and parking nearby.
