Good to know
Which beaches in Serifos are sandy?
The beaches listed here are recorded as sand rather than pebbles or rock. Shorelines shift with storms and seasons, so the mix can change from year to year.
Does sand mean shallow water?
Not always. Sand describes the shore, not the depth — some sandy beaches drop away quickly. Open a beach to see its recorded depth, and check live wind and waves before you swim.
When is the sea calmest here?
Across 15 of the beaches on this page, the open water in front of them is typically 0.83 m in June, 1.01 m in July and 1.08 m in August when the meltemi is at its strongest, and 0.98 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 15 of the beaches on this page the sea is typically 19.0 °C in May, 22.5 °C in June, 24.2 °C in July, 24.8 °C in August and 24.3 °C in September — ideal at the height of summer, mild in June. By October it is 22.2 °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.
