Limassol BeachesMost of the Limassol beaches have dark sand and a mix of sand and pebbles. You will have to travel two or three miles from the main town of Limassol to reach the beaches in the area. Staying at a Hotel in Limassol means you will often have the local beaches to yourself as the beaches are usually very quiet without many tourists. Blue Flag beaches in or near Limassol: Pissouri, Santa Barbara, Kalymnos Beach, Armonia, Loures, Vouppa
Lady's MileA couple of miles from the main town, this is a sandy beach which goes on for 5 miles. This beach has nice shallow water making it especially safe for children, and it is mostly deserted although you will sometimes see the families of British servicemen relaxing here. Lady's mile allegedly got its name because it was where the colonel's wife walked her horse in the days of the British Empire.
Pissouri
Kourion BeachThis is actually quite a stony beach, but I can easily forgive that because of its stunning surroundings. Kourion Beach is long and curving, and it has the backdrop of the dramatic ruins of Kourion perched on the top of the cliff overlooking the bay.It is common for tourists to relax here after visiting the ruins so it can get busy at times. Windsurfing is popular on this beach, and handgliding is also available from the cliff.
