Fig Tree Bay, Protaras

Fantastic beach. It is shallow by the shore perfect for families, and you can swim out to the small island which is great for snorkelling, so much life to see. It can get windy or a little choppy so take care. There are shower and foot taps on the beach for use. It does get very busy so you need to arrive early in the morning. There’s a range of car parking options near by. Sun loungers are £2.50 each as are umbrellas. There are lots of food options near by and two water sport companies which offer a wide range of activities, we went canoeing for 10 euros each.

You need to visit this beach when the water is calm as it can be completely different. I was there with much wind and waves, wasn’t great but I came back on a less windy day and it was beautiful!!! Probably one of the nicest beaches in the area, crystal clear water with a small reef where you can go snorkelling.

A very nice and charming beach in the north of the island. One of the few where you can swim without going 200 meters into the sea. Azure and warm water. A lot of people, but not like in Mielno.

Awesome beach! Water is shallow and warm, there are public toilets, bars, stores near-by, a parking, though we didn’t use it so not sure how much it is, since there is a bus station close by. If you don’t come super early - you will not find free sunbeads, but there is some space for your towel. Best thing about this beach is that there is a promenade that leads you to Sunrise beach in just few steps. So you can take a swim there as well. This is my second favorite beach in Cyprus - first Nissi, then Fig Tree, Makronissos, and then Konnos. Fig Tree is more like a quiet beach, mostly for families, but it is very crowded. I mean, all beaches are crowded so just get used to that. At the end of the day, this beach is VERY worth visiting. As well as Protaras, it looks so cute and it is not steep like Ayia Napa.

Nice beach in Protaras, bit further away from the Ayia Napa. Can get easily overcrowded, so I recommend to grab your spot in the early morning. Beach offers showers, local shops and watersports.
