Description
City beach on the south side of Naxos Town with predominantly fine sand and some rocky/pebblier patches toward the southern end. Water is usually clear and shallow for a long distance, making it popular with families. The bay is relatively sheltered from the prevailing northern Meltemi, so conditions tend to be calm; a lagoon area to the south hosts beginner-friendly windsurfing. Access is on foot from town or by paved road; multiple public parking areas sit near the beachfront. The shore is partly organized with rows of sunbeds/umbrellas run by cafés/hotels, plus beach bars and tavernas behind the sand. Public showers and toilets exist near the main organized zone. Cautions: gets very crowded in peak season; watch for windsurfers in the lagoon area and occasional small craft near the town harbor entrance.
