Lemnos has countless beaches, almost 100, thanks to its extremely long coastline. Most beaches have sand and shallow sea, while many have the basic tourist infrastructure (umbrellas, sunbeds, etc). Below you can find the list of the main beaches, starting from the northwest edge of the island and moving clockwise.

• Riha Nera (West Lemnos): A long (350 meters) organized stretch of sand in walking distance from Myrina. As its name suggests, its waters are shallow and ideal for children. It is the most popular of the beaches in this area as it offers amenities like umbrellas, sunbeds, water sports beach bars, rooms to let and taverns.
• Avlonas (West Lemnos): It lies a bit after Riha Nera beach and it is recommended for those seeing something more quiet. It offers thick sand with little pebble, umbrellas, sunbeds and a canteen. On the left side of the beach you can see two small volcanic islets.
• Platy (West Lemnos): This is one of the most famous beaches of Lemnos. Its shallow waters are ideal for families with kids. The beach gathers large crowds but it is so big that you will not feel crowded in any way. Naturally it is equipped with umbrellas, sunbeds, water sports, taverns and accommodation. It is located on the Platy bay, very close and a bit south of Myrina. Down the road you will come across two small secluded beaches.

From Agios Giannis beach you can enjoy the sunset. It is located near Kaspakas village and you can easily reach the beach through the main road.
• Skidi (Southwest Lemnos): A cute sandy beach with crystal clear shallow waters. It is situated at the southwest edge of the island, close to Parthenomytos, and it is cut-off because of its location, but getting to it is not hard. There is a lack of natural shade, so make sure you pack your umbrella.

Be careful to take the asphalt road, as there are others leading to the beach, but mind that it is narrow and winding as it passes through the village.
• Louri (Southeast Lemnos): A beautiful unorganized beach with delightful thick sand. The beach has a rare beauty with its amazing blue-green waters.
• Parthenomytos (Southeast Lemnos): Fine sand, crystal sea and a beautiful landscape make up the image of one of the top beaches of Lemnos.

Both beaches are organized with umbrellas, sunbeds and beach bars, while Megalo Fanaraki also has a tavern. Megalo Fanaraki is longer (200 meters) facing west while Mikro Fanaraki faces north, so you can move from one to the other depending on the wind direction. They are located at the south part of Lemnos on Moudros bay where the sea is usually calm. At the edge of Mikro Fanaraki beach is the Seal Cave. Down the road there are two equally beautiful but quieter beaches, Havouli and Sagrida.
• Neftina (Northeast Lemnos): A quiet long beach with fine light sand and blue sea. The landscape is distinct since on one side you can see the chapel of Panagia and a stream ends at the sea.
