Family beaches in East Attica
30 beaches in East Attica that are easy to reach and have something useful close by: a lifeguard, a place to eat or drink, toilets. Ranked live, so the flattest sea comes first.
A family beach here is easy to reach (a road or track at the beach, or a car park close by), is not a naturist beach, and has at least one thing families need within 300 m: a lifeguard, a café, bar or taverna, toilets or a mapped beach resort. It all comes from OpenStreetMap, so a beach can have more than the map shows. We do not know how quickly the water gets deep, so check that on arrival if you have small children.

Frequently asked questions
Which beaches in East Attica are good for families?
30 of the 66 mapped beaches on East Attica are easy to reach and have a lifeguard, a place to eat or drink, toilets or a resort nearby. The best fits are DIVERS BEACH, LA COSTA, and Beach of Varkiza.
Is the water shallow at these beaches?
The map data does not say how quickly the sea gets deep, so we do not claim it. Sandy beaches usually slope gently, but check on arrival and keep an eye on small children. The live ranking above shows which of these beaches have flat water today.
How do you know which beaches are sheltered?
For every beach we measured how much open sea lies in each of 16 compass directions, using OpenStreetMap coastlines. Waves build over open water, so a beach with land close by in the direction the wind comes from is sheltered. Today's wind forecast from MET Norway is then applied, and the result is refreshed every 2 hours.
Are the forecasts reliable?
They are estimates. The model does not include swell from distant storms, and local gusts can be stronger than forecast. Always follow lifeguard flags and local warnings.
