The city beaches on the east end of Kavala (Kara Orman, Perigiali) and on the western periphery (Kalamitsa) are flat and suitable for children. In the summer months, sun loungers, parasols and chairs are available for free but in limited numbers.
The beaches are all easily accessible by city buses. Close to the west end of Kavala are the campsite “Batis” and the Bungalow Hotel “Tosca Beach”, offering all comfort for a relaxed day at the beach. They can be reached by public bus from the main bus terminal.
West of Kavala are the localities Palio (10km) , Iraklitsa (15km) and Nea Peramos (20km), all with nice beaches and beach bars. The latter two are typical holiday places with a lot of beach bars, restaurants, cafeterias, etc. Especially younger people prefer the beaches of Amolofos (at the west side of Nea Peramos).
At the beach bars there parking, sun loungers, parasols, chairs and loud music are available for free. Of course a drink must be taken from the bar. The crystal clear waters and fine sand provides a relaxed holiday atmosphere for those who love more action than repose. The further you drive from Nea Permaos along the expressway towards Saloniki, the more “lonely” the beaches get, with crystal clear water and beautiful surroundings. The best known beaches there are “Sarakina” (near Hotel Ocean View) and the Pirgos beach (at the ancient tower 50 km from Kavala) . Further to the west, about 2 km after the turn of “Loutra Elefteron” (hot springs) is the only nudist beach.
East of Kavala, in the Nestos Delta area of Chrysoupolis, near the villages of Eratino and Agiasma there are spacious shallow beaches where a lot of camping is done (although wild camping is banned there, but so far tolerated). These beaches are often not so clean with a lot of algae. Especially recommended are the clean and superb beaches at Keramoti which belong to the best of the area.
