What it's like
St. Paul's Bay sits near Lindos on the east side of Rhodes. Local tradition says the Apostle Paul came ashore here in AD 51, and the bay takes its name from him. The rock formations along the water are part of its character.
A visit is simple. Swim and snorkel in the clear turquoise water, then sit on the beach and look up at the acropolis above Lindos. The east coast of Rhodes has mostly sandy beaches with calm water, and this bay fits that pattern. Lindos town itself is a short distance away for a meal or a walk.
Good to know
- Shade falls on the southern side of the beach in the late afternoon, so go earlier in the day for sun.
- Buses from Rhodes Town are often full and late, so a taxi or a tour is the simpler way to get here.
