Good to know
Which beaches in Kavala are family-friendly?
Every beach on this list meets three criteria: it is organised, it has no difficult access, and our data records its water as shallow. How fast the seabed drops away underfoot is not something any map can guarantee — for small children, pick a calm, sheltered day as well.
How do I compare sea conditions?
CalmBeach checks wind, waves and exposure, so you can compare less exposed beaches and more comfortable visiting times.
When is the sea calmest here?
Across 5 of the beaches on this page, the open water in front of them is typically 0.24 m in June, 0.23 m in July and 0.25 m in August when the meltemi is at its strongest, and 0.30 m in September. July 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 5 of the beaches on this page the sea is typically 19.1 °C in May, 23.5 °C in June, 26.1 °C in July, 26.5 °C in August and 24.2 °C in September — ideal at the height of summer, mild in June. By October it is 20.7 °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.
