About Fanes Beach

Fanes Beach on Rhodes's north coast captures the meltemi wind side-shore, delivering consistent conditions throughout the summer season. The beach itself is pebbly rather than sandy, and the water develops typical Aegean chop. Wind blows reliably in the afternoon, making this a solid choice when other spots are flat. The relative lack of crowds and straightforward access make it popular with independent kiters. Ideal for intermediate riders comfortable in chop; beginners may find conditions challenging.
