Amenities from OpenStreetMap — they may have changed and the list is not exhaustive.
Mastichari beach on northern Kos combines sand and steady meltemi winds, making it popular for kite surfing. Along the coast, there are taverns and kite schools, while the bay offers limited natural shelter. Ideal for calm swims or water sports, with views towards the open sea.
Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.
The beach faces north. With southerly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with northerly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The coast is exposed to the open sea, so conditions change quickly with the wind. For kite and windsurf, look for days with northerly winds of 4+ Beaufort.
The shore faces north (350°), so from April to August the sun sets within its field of view, over the water. In the remaining seasons the sunset falls further to the side, over land.
An estimate based on the orientation of the shore — a headland or island opposite may hide the horizon.
In calm seas yes, but the water gets deep fairly quickly — normal supervision applies.
On days with southerly (offshore) winds or no wind at all. Check the live score on Beach Radar before you go — it updates all day.
Yes — sunbeds, umbrellas and food options operate during the summer season.
