A beautiful beach with fine sand, showers, restaurants... Great for children because there are many places to play in the sand, at the same time, it is not noisy, so it is ideal for relaxation.

Stunning, long and sandy beach. One of my favorite in Napa region. Very similar to the famous and close Fig tree bay but bigger. Easy to find sun beds available.

Lovely beach. It has some rocks and stones when entering the water at the end. Go to the centre if you want an easier walk into the sea. Payment for two chairs and an umbrella was €7.50. If you can get there early enough it was free parking close to the beach.

Arrive early so you can find parking place. Nice hotel but with some issues. Almost impossible to find towels and don't believe if they promise you later on or the day after. 2 lifts only for your room and some time it takes long time to get there. The staff are amazing A++. Normal size pool with a good number of sun beds around it but you have to reserve them early (before 07:00). The beach is next to the hotel with Crystal clear water but full of rocks. Be aware that if you leave your staff on the sun beds, there is a small chance to find them on the floor since someone else will claim the beds.

Just skip overcrowded Fig Tree Beach and instead take a short walk to this one. Much bigger, not crowded, clean, same pristine water. Much better option.

Loved the beach. Sunbeds for €7.50 a day and you can pay by card, but be really early to grab one. Sand is clean and the beach is swept once a week. Lacks beach bars but there are plenty of hotels and restaurants nearby.

Gourgous beach with amazing sand and water. You have all facilities close by: shower, changing room, food and beverages, view points. 7.5€ for two sunbeds and an umbrella. I guess this is regulated price by the municipality. You can reach the beach by getting the bus 711 from Larnaca. Also, you can reach it from Larnaca using Intercity bus, but you have to change at Nissi beach for 101 OSEA...
