Description
West-coast beach just south of Agios Prokopios, effectively continuing toward Maragas/Plaka. Predominantly fine sand with some smooth rock outcrops; water is typically very clear. West-facing and partly sheltered; when the summer Meltemi blows, the northern stretch feels breezier and can have more chop, while the southern end near the small fishing port is calmer. Access is easy: ~5–6 km from Naxos Town/port with frequent bus service and drive-up access; parking is mostly along the seafront. Large organized zones with sunbeds/umbrellas, beach bars and tavernas; basic facilities (showers/toilets) present in season. Family-friendly shoreline; light snorkeling around rocks. Notable cautions: crowded in peak months; minor boat traffic by the small port; expect more waves on windy days.
