Find your own spot to sunbathe on this 4.8km-long golden-sand beach that stretches from Plaka to Maragas.
Soft sand, warm clear waters and secluded sand dunes (that block the view from the nearby road) provide the perfect location for a clothing-optional day at the beach.
A section of the beach near the town of Agios Anna provides even more seclusion, with trees, rocks and small coves. Plaka is located on the west coast just a few kilometres south of Naxos town.
This narrow white-sand beach is sandwiched between a beautiful turquoise bay and red hills scattered with green vegetation.
Located between Plaka and Mikri Vigla on the west coast, Orkas is remote and quiet, without tourist facilities. It offers excellent windsurfing conditions during the summer months when the meltemi starts blowing.
The soft golden sands of this 1.5km-long beach stretch as far as the eye can see. This is one of the most popular beaches on Naxos, but it never seems too crowded due to its length.
Swim in the turquoise waters of the bay and stroll up to the headland at the end of the beach for great views and secluded sunbathing spots.
Refresh with a cold drink and snack on seafood at one of the cafes, restaurants or bars in the small village that sits just behind the sand dunes.
Beach facilities include sun beds, umbrellas and watersports activities on the main section of the beach, while the other section is unspoiled and left in its natural state.

Surrounded by hills, this gorgeous crescent of white sand offers two beaches separated by a rocky promontory.
Go windsurfing and parasailing on the northern section of the beach (an internationally famous windsurfing spot during the summer meltemi winds) or head to the more sheltered southern beach to sunbathe on the soft white sand, swim in the crystalline waters and snorkel around the rocky headland.
The southern beach is family friendly and offers a choice of beachside tavernas and holiday accommodations. Mikri Vigia is located on the west coast of Naxos.
