Famagusta BeachesThis area has several lovely beaches, and most Famagusta beaches offer some water sports. Some of the beaches in this area are owned by hotels who charge an entrance fee to use the beach. There are mix of busy and quiet beaches in and around Famagusta. You can mostly find the usual beach facilities in this area, such as sunbeds and umbrellas to hire and showers.
GlapsidesThis is basically North Cyprus’s equivalent of Nissi Beach in Ayia Napa! It gets rammed in the summer and the crowd is mostly very young. There is usually a DJ at the bar during peak sunmer season who plays until late. It is a fun beach to be at, but if you are looking for some peace and quiet during the summer months or you want to spend some romantic time with a loved one, this will not be the beach for you.BafraThis is a nice little sandy beach which is much quieter than Glapsides. The water is very clear and there are few rocks. There are limited facilities but some nice restaurants close by. The time to see this beach is NOW as hotel resorts are being built aound it, and it looks as if it will become very crowded in near future.Silver BeachThis beach is located just south of the ruins of Salamis, and it makes a nice day trip to come and relax here after visiting the site. There is a small cafe at the beach but it hasn't got much choice and there are few other facilities.This is one of the best Cyprus beaches for snorkelling, as you are able to explore the old harbour of Salamis which is now underwater. So if you feel like submerging yourself within part of a lost city, this is the only place to be!
