Paradise beach on Kos is known for the unique phenomenon of bubbles rising from the seabed sand, due to volcanic gases. With fine sand and shallow waters, it is ideal for families. The bay offers partial natural protection, while its orientation ensures a sunset over the sea.
The beach faces south. With northerly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with southerly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The coast is exposed to the open sea, so conditions change quickly with the wind.
The shore faces south (190°), so from October to February the sun sets within its field of view, over the water. In the remaining seasons the sunset falls further to the side, over land.
