Paralia Agios Georgios

Paralia Agios Georgios is a popular beach located in Naxos, just 10 minutes from the town centre. The beach is known for its shallow waters, making it an ideal location for families with children. Visitors can walk about 15 to 20 meters into the ocean with the water reaching just their waist. This feature also makes it a safe choice for those who are not confident swimmers. The beach is characterized by its double horseshoe bay, providing shelter from winds from most directions. The sand on the beach is compacted on the foreshore, making it a great place for a run at dusk. However, visitors should be aware of the seagrass that washes up on the shore. Paralia Agios Georgios is backed by numerous small hotels, cafes, and restaurants, providing a variety of amenities for visitors. Sunbeds are available for rent, but there is also plenty of space for visitors to lay down their towels in the sand, especially towards the southern part of the beach. Despite its popularity, the beach maintains a nice atmosphere without being overly crowded. However, some visitors may find the beach too crowded during peak times, and the requirement to pay for sunbeds may not appeal to everyone. Additionally, some visitors may find the water too shallow for their liking.
