Tenda Bay is a wild bay on the northeast coast of the Sitia peninsula, north of Kouremenos. More exposed to direct Meltemi than the east-facing beaches, it receives NW to N wind more head-on.
This is a spot for intermediate and advanced riders, with choppier water and a wild atmosphere. Rarely crowded, it offers pristine sailing space in a preserved natural setting.
Wild spot with no infrastructure. No school or rental. Reserved for autonomous and equipped riders. Launching from coarse sand and pebble beach. Unlimited sailing space towards open water.
Works from June to September with the Meltemi. Ideal for quiet sessions away from the Kouremenos crowds.
Choppy water with waves formed by the onshore Meltemi. Rocky and sandy bottom. Variable depth – shallow areas possible.
Crystal clear water. Moderate current along the coast. Interesting bump & jump conditions in sustained wind.
Intermediate
Open all year round
Access via dirt track from the main road. Wild parking on the roadside. Road can be rough – a vehicle with good ground clearance is recommended. No facilities on site.
Isolated spot with no supervision – never sail alone. Submerged rocks in some areas of the bay. Coastal current possible. Difficult access in case of emergency.
No drinking water or supplies – plan everything in advance. Sun and wind cause rapid dehydration.
The Meltemi arrives more directly from NW/NNW than on east-facing beaches like Kouremenos. The bay is more exposed and wind is generally stronger and more consistent, 18-28 knots in summer.
Possible gusts due to surrounding terrain. Wind is more onshore than side-shore on this north coast. Excellent reliability from June to September.
