Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Nice Beach. The trailhead to Preveli beach is definitely recommended. The walk time is approximately 15 minutes. Avoid taking the taxi boat to Preveli that scames people and charges you 10€ for 2 minutes of driving.

Don’t let the haters dissuade you from going here. Like many in-town, European beaches, this is crowded without wide expanses of sand. However, once you find a spot to park yourself, whether it’s paying for a lounge chair or dropping your towel down onto a square foot of beach, the water here is super clear, and the bottom is sandy without rocks. At night the water is lit so it’s like having a natural swimming pool to yourself. Amazingly lovely.

Food is nice, drinks are good and fruit is fresh.
It gets crowded after 12h so id you want specific sunbeds its good to reserve it a day before.

I wonder about the people who found this beach good
It is a small beach in the city (good thing) but it has the mentality of Mykonos.
He wants a reservation for the sunbed, he charges 20 euros for the set and the guys who serve ask for tips to give you an umbrella.
The adjacent beach bar has the character of a nightclub.
Although the waters are shallow, they smell of gasoline from the jet skis and speedboats that are rented next door.
Lots of cigarette butts and plastics in the sea.
If you find all this positive...

The bay is amazing!!
The way to the bay is very cool and The water is crystal!
There is no bathing beach, it is just a rock on the water.
It is very small but people came and go very quickly so i suggest to go just for 2 hours not more. Than u can have lunch at one of restaurant near the bay. 5 💫

We spent a whole day at this beautiful beach. Our biggest highlight definitely was Amoudi Beach Watersports! The staff is great and the prices are reasonable and you can choose from a great variety of activities. The Team made this for my friends and me a great experience. The four of us highly recommend you to spend some time here, you won’t regret it!

We spent a day there in Sept. weather was amazing. The service on the beach was great and food choices and drink choices were plentiful. The only complaint we had was the amount of people and the loud yelling back and forth. But if you have head phones or ear buds you should be fine

We have been coming to Crete for the past 15 years and we traveled all around the island until...we found Agios Nikolaos and Ammoudi Beach. We fell in love with the place. Apart from the amazing scenery, we were attracted by the water sports activities. Amoudi Water Sports is run by the nicest family and it is because of them that we keep coming back. They made our holidays a wonderful experience making us feel like we are part of the family. Every year we have a lot of fun riding the sofa or using the jetski, kayak or SUP. All these are and were done with complete compliance with the rules and regulations. Nikos and Manos are always alert and keeping an eye on what is happening on the beach and we always felt safe there, especially this year!

Spent a day at this beach. It can get very busy but the sun beds and umbrellas are perfect. There is a food and drink service which is great and prices are reasonable. The beds and umbrellas at the front are 15€ and the ones and the back are 10€. There is also water sports hire if you wish.

Is it also open at night for drinks? If yes until what time?
Written 2 September 2019
Probably depends on what season, what day and how late. Seems like most places were open and serving drinks until at least 10 pm. Probably later in summer and on Friday and Saturday nights.

How far is this beach from the coral hotel? And is this the best one nearest to us? We love the beach but worried not going to get a bed st beginning of August? First time in agios Nikolas so need help!
Written 3 July 2019
I am sure if you get to the beach early in the day, you will be able to secure an umbrella and couple of chairs (or flats) easily enough. On a weekend - you might have to get there quite early.

How far is this beach from the lake please?

How far is the beach from the cruise port? We arrive in Aghios nikolaos on the 15th August from 1000-1800 and looking for the best sandy beach to take 2 children. I have been told it's a public holiday so the land train is not on but wondered how easy and which is the best beach to go to?
