Just beyond the Olympic port is the Nova Icària beach. This is a great place for families and people who want to do more than just sun themselves, as it has the most leisure amenities, including a playground and volleyball courts. It also tends to be quieter than some of the other beaches. Its proximity to the Olympic port means that there is no shortage of places to eat, from fast food joints to fresh seafood restaurants. Just across the road is the Nova Icària shopping mall, with a supermarket, several shops and a multi-screen cinema with films in original language.
During high season Nova Icària beach has an area dedicated to helping people with reduced mobility access the sea, including wooden walkways and the use of an amphibious chair.
