Ammoudi Beach is a small beach cradled in a large cove inside Agios Nikolaos.
It is an organised beach with watersports facilities. It’s small, so it may be crowded on some days.
Its advantage is that it is sheltered from the strong north winds.
Continuing along the road past this beach, you will come to the small church of Agios Nikolaos, famous for its wall paintings.

Almyros beach is 2.5 kilometres south of Agios Nikolaos and is the city's most popular beach.
If you do not have a car, you could walk the pedestrian street (5') that runs along the rocky coastline north of the beach from Agios Nikolaos city centre. The trail begins at Gargadoros beach, which is 5 minutes south of the town's marina. If you have a car, Almyros beach is easily accessible too, because it is located beneath the main road. Parking is available adjacent to the wetland and the eastern part of the roadway.
The beach is shaped around the mouth of the Almyros River, which empties on the beach's south end. The protected wetland of Almyros, located next to the beach, is home to various rare birds, tall eucalyptus trees, reed, and few palm trees.
The beach is extremely lengthy and well-maintained. It is sandy, and the water is shallow and usually smooth, making it perfect for young children in particular. There is a canteen in the region, and there are numerous water sports alternatives. Because of the year-round flow of the river, the seawater is unusually chilly in some locations. Small hotels and residences can be found on the beach's southern end.
