Keros bay offers an extraordinary 2 mile sandy beach with crystal clear turquoise shallow waters on the east coast of the Limnos island.

What is unique about Keros, is that it combines a flat section on the north side, and a wave section on the south side of the same bay. You can reach both sides by going upwind/downwind for about 5 minutes, or if you are lazy, make it a 2min car drive. The sandy beach is completely friendly, and the bay extensively wraps around you, making it almost impossible to get into trouble. The bay relatively shallow, making it a great place to learn beach-starts.

Nice and soft sand. There is a lot of space to safely launch and land a kite. The spot is very safe, since there is sand everywhere.
