Saint George beach is the most popular beach in Naxos. It lays south-west of the capital, Naxos Town, and is easily accessible on foot from almost every part of the capital. It took its name after the chapel of Saint George, built at its northern end. The beach is usually calm since it is well protected from the northern winds. It has shallow, warm waters so it is widely preferred by families with young children because it offers a great degree of safety. It is very well organized with many umbrellas and sun-beds for rent.

It is best to access Saint George beach on foot. If you intend to get there by car, you should know that although there is ample parking right next to the beach, you will still have a hard time finding a space during the high season. However, there are more parking lots a bit further from the beach where you can leave your car free of charge.
