Getting in
- Access
- The beach is reached from the Rhodes to Lindos road or on foot from Lindos village, by a path and steps (Ministry of Environment). In the 2025 season, 1 June to 31 October, the Rhodes Coast Guard banned anchoring inside the bay and within 100 m of its entrance, and allowed only one motor vessel at a time on the eastern side to drop off or pick up passengers. The Acropolis of Lindos above the bay is a Ministry of Culture site with its own ticket and opening hours, reached on foot or by mule.
- Public transport
- KTEL Rodou runs a Rhodes to Saint Paul route from Mandraki (bus station 1) to its stop Lindos (St. Paul), bus station 47.
