A large beach in area. Although the sea is clear, the beach has hard, pressed sand. It has many tourist shops, restaurants and bars. The sad thing is that many of them do not take care of their exteriors and this has the consequence of leaving you with a feeling of old and untended. On the edge it has a very nice castle that functions as a museum and if you go further into the narrow streets it has more picturesque places.

The umbrellas have started falling apart a bit, but the beach itself is big, the distance between sunbeds is just right, so you don't feel squished with other people.The water is shallow for at least 100m, which also makes people scattered all over, so no one is in your way.The sand isn't "pretty" but it doesn't stuck to everything and it's nice to stand on in water.The water itself is clear and clean.

A long beach with lots of beds for rent. Restaurants all around. Clean clear water. Life guards all around. The issue is with the closeness to the airport which makes it a bit noisy when the planes land and takeoff.

It's a... convenient beach. Is it the most beautiful? No. Is it the best beach I've ever been to? Also no. But it's in the middle of the city, easy to get to, there's an intercity bus stop nearby. There are toilets and changing rooms. The water is shallow and not really suitable for swimming but I took my elderly mother with mobility issues with me and it was perfect for her. There's really no sand, just hard dirt, but the loungers are cheap. Water has no rocks.

Not the prettiest beach, but it's good to have in the city. If you want to swim I'd drive over to another beach, closer to Protaras.
