Golden Sand Beach in Andros, also known as Chryssi Ammos, ranks among the most visited beaches on the island. It lies on the western side of the island, just 3 kilometers from Gavrio, the main port. 

To reach Golden Sand Beach, visitors can drive from Gavrio in under 10 minutes. The road stays smooth and well-marked, while nearby parking areas offer space for cars and scooters. In addition, several hotels and guesthouses sit within walking distance, making the beach an easy stop for both short and long stays.

The beach stretches across a gently curved bay, which protects it from strong winds. As a result, the sea remains calm and clear even on breezy days. Because the water deepens gradually, families with young kids often choose this beach over others on the island.

Moreover, Golden Sand Beach provides several amenities. Organized sunbeds and umbrellas line much of the shore. A beach bar serves coffee, snacks, and cocktails throughout the day. Visitors can also use nearby showers and restrooms for convenience.

For those seeking more activity, the beach offers options for paddleboarding, kayaking, and beach games. A few rental kiosks operate during high season. Although the beach becomes busy during July and August, early arrivals can still find quiet corners.

Nearby villages such as Kypri and Gavrio offer extra dining and shopping choices. After a day at the beach, many visitors stop at a seaside taverna to enjoy fresh seafood and watch the sunset.
