Larnaca Beaches
Larnaca beaches may not be the most famous on the island but they have plenty to offer visitors. Most of them are not very touristy compared to some other areas, and so they are great for those people looking to escape the crowds. The beaches here are long and very safe for children. Many beaches have pebbles as well as sand. Be sure to check out some of the lesser known beaches, such as Pyla Beach. Keen divers will also have a treat visiting the world-famous shipwreck Zenobia off the coast of Larnaca, which offers some off the best opportunities for Cyprus diving.
Blue Flag beaches in or near Larnaca include: Castella, MacKenzie, Phinikoudes
Phinikoudes:
This is the most well-known beach in Larnaca, and without a doubt the most crowded, as it is the one closest to the main promenade. If you don't mind crowds, you will enjoy this beach as it is so close to all the main shops and restaurants in the area.
MacKensie
Because of its location away from the main city centre and close to the airport, MacKenzie beach used to be quite uncrowded but it is becoming more popular all the time.
You will still find a few days, particularly outside of peak season, where you can escape the hoardes of tourists here.
This Larnaca beach has good facilities available. There are many good places to eat close by and great watersports available at this beach, including jet-skiing and snorkelling.
Pyla Beach
This is a really lovely, sandy beach surrounded by clear, turquoise water. The beach is about two miles from the charming village of Pyla with its traditional restaurants. A lot of tourists still don't know about Pyla beach so it is not too crowded.
