The beach of Kokkari is a 500 meters long, a pebbly beach, situated at a distance of 9,5 kilometers northwestern to the capital town of Samos. The sea is pretty deep and very clean, unprotected from the northern winds which raise high waves when blowing. The beach is found in front of the settlement of Kokkari, just a bit off the circular road of the northern coast of the island which connects the town of Samos with Karlovasi. Accommodation facilities are available in the area and the visitors will enjoy coffee, refreshments and full meals in the coffee bars and taverns at the seafront. The beach is well organised, offering facilities for swimming and sunbathing (sea beds and umbrellas), as well as facilities for sports and especially for windsurfing.
