Trees line the backside of this sandy beach providing the largest shaded area of any beach on Mykonos. The winds abound on Kalafatis Beach, setting the perfect stage for a windsurfer's paradise.

Whether you are a novice, wanting to try windsurfing for the first time or an experienced windsurfer arriving with yourown equipment, this is a beach for all abilities. You can find a windsurfing school here that rents out all the gear needed to fly on the water. This beach is chosen by the windsurfers for organized competitions. This is also one of the few places on Mykonos where you can rent a bicycle.

Kalafatis Beach has a few hotels, rooms to rent and apartments across the road or on the hill side to the left. There is a beach taverna that provides beach service and a restaurant at the far left end of the beach. In the middle of the beach, tucked into the trees is a beach bar that also provides beach service. Across the road from the right end of the beach is a cafeteria - restaurant frequented by the windsurfing crowd. Nearby, on the main road, is a mini market, a large taverna and a pizza restaurant.

Sun beds and umbrellas are available for rent, though there is plenty of space on the right to lay your towel. On the sand there is a beach volley court, a lifeguard on duty and a water sports area. Kalafatis Beach is also the location for a dive center that has excursion to two small eastern islands. Kalafatis Beach is the next to the last of the southern beaches before rounding the tip of Mykonos Island toward the remote, not easily accessible eastern beaches. You can reach this beach by public transportation, the bus originating at the intersection near the old port behind the museum or rental car - motorbike.
