Tinos island - Kolimbithres
Edit SpotAbout
There is a fantastic monastery on top of the beach, two very good restaurants and a small hotel with a lovely view of the bay and the beach.
It has a free hidden camp area if you do not want to rent a hotel room; People here are very friendly and supportive. No localism. On the beach you will find a small cafeteria (drinks and toasts) and a small surf shop that provides surfboard rentals and equipment.
The downside is that the closest supermarket is far away and doesn't have a lot of stuff so you have to travel all the way back to the big town (Tinos) to properly stock up.
There is a nice current that pulls you out towards the sea to the line up area.
The waves here can get very large. As shown in the image bellow:
