Almost the entire coast of Protaras is indented with numerous coves with excellent access to the water. Near each hotel there are mini-beaches where you can swim, but there are usually no places for sun loungers.

To sunbathe on the seashore, splash in the sea and ride water transport, you need to go to one of the improved beaches of Protaras.

Each of them has a full range of services:

  • changing cabins;
  • sun loungers and umbrellas (for a fee);
  • toilets;
  • cafe.

It is worth mentioning that the beaches of Protaras, like Ayia Napa, are considered the best in Cyprus.

Louma Beach (Kalamies or Louma Beach)

This is a small artificial bay approximately 400 meters wide. The entrance to the water is gentle, the water is clean and transparent. The bay is protected from waves, so the sea here is always calm. This beach has been awarded a quality certificate - a blue flag.

Luma beach got its other name - Golden Coast - from a hotel nearby. Almost all beaches on the Protaras coast are named largest hotels located nearby. The color of the sand near Luma Bay really shimmers with gold, which is why it rightfully bears the name “Gold Coast”.

This beach is great for families with small children.

But it is worth noting that if you are staying at a hotel in another part of Protaras (near Flamingo or Big Fig), then there is no point in going here specifically.

Flamingo Beach (Sunrise and Flamingo Beach

This is the main and widest beach of Protaras. It consists of two parts at once: the area near the Sunrise Hotel and Flamingo Beach.

The local beach is a favorite vacation spot of the entire resort. There are always a lot of people here, only in the morning and evening hours you can not be afraid of the crowd.

Part of the zone (about 500 meters) near the Sunrise Hotel is considered elite. It is better equipped, it is monitored even more vigilantly, because the most expensive hotels are located here. The beach is open, and not only residents of local hotels, but also for ordinary tourists. That's why it's always crowded here.

But there is also a lot of entertainment for young people: banana, water skiing, parasailing. The coast is dotted with many cafes and restaurants. There is an Ocean Busket that serves huge platters of delicious seafood.

There is even a massage parlor for those who want to relax and unwind after walking along the boardwalk or swimming in the sea.

Flamingo Beach departs sea ​​cruises. Their cost can range from 5 to 40 euros. There are glass bottom steamers, pirate boats and a variety of boats.

Fig Tree Bay

Fig Tree Bay Beach is considered the best in Protaras. Both tourists and locals prefer to relax here.

This is the best beach for families with small children. The descent into the sea is gentle, the water is clear, turquoise in color. The sand is fine, golden in color, there are no stones.

Here, as on Flamingo Beach, there are a lot of water activities: You can ride a banana boat, water rides. And the entire coast is dotted with various cafes and restaurants, where hungry tourists can eat a worm, as well as souvenir shops.

In the northern part of the bay there is a small cove with underwater caves that can be explored with scuba diving.

There is also a walking path along all the beaches of Protaras from here for those who want to walk along the seashore or go jogging.

Green Bay

There is one beach in Cyprus that is not marked on the map, but is nevertheless very remarkable. This is a bay called "Green Bay" near the Cavo Maris hotel.

It is not too large, with rugged banks, but at the same time with a convenient approach to the water and a sandy bottom. This beach is very popular with divers, because there are two convenient coves for diving. In addition to a variety of fish, there is a real “underwater park”, where divers once sank sculptures of Aphrodite and Apollo.

The dive costs from €70.

It's not too much famous place among ordinary tourists, so there is no such excitement here as on the Big Fig Tree or Flamingo beach. Suitable for holidays with small children.

Beach at Konnos Bay

This tiny beach is located away from Protaras on the way to Ayia Napa, but is still popular and loved by tourists. Despite the location, there is everything you need for beach holiday: sun loungers, showers, changing cabins and water attractions. There is even a bay for diving.

The descent into the water at Connor Bay is not too gentle, but the shore is rocky in places. And it is better not to come to this beach with small children.

The bay is very small, but clean and picturesque, approximately 200 m in length. Here you can not only swim and sunbathe on the golden sand, but also dive into the water.


This beach has also been awarded a quality certificate (blue flag).

Note: from the bay there is a winding path to the caves where, according to legend, the terrible Cyclops lived.

The best beaches of Protaras, description, infrastructure, hotels and how to get to Protaras, photos and reviews of tourists about the beaches of Protaras.

Protaras- a village in the southeast of Cyprus, next to Ayia Napa and closely adjacent to. Protaras has a fairly long coastline with small beaches passing into one another - bays and the long city Sunrise beach, which is also the main one Protaras city beach. I will not remember absolutely all the beaches, I will focus on the most interesting ones, both popular and those that are interesting only to locals.

Let's start from the border with Northern Cyprus and finish at Konnos Bay Beach, which is located on the border with Cape Greco and geographically closest to Ayia Napa.

Fireman's beach

Just behind the beach Fireman's beach(Fireman's Beach) a barbed fence and the so-called “green line” exclusion zone between southern and northern Cyprus, but the beach itself is worthy of attention. There are no hotels near the beach, as a result of which there are much fewer tourists even in peak season than in the center of Protaras. At the beginning of summer they are not here at all. Mostly locals swim.

A semi-oval bay with a smooth entry into the water, golden sand and low steep banks along the edges.

You can get there by rented car. From - 15-20 minutes drive, parking nearby is free.

Armyropigano Bay and Skoutarospilioi Bay

If you move along Fireman’s beach towards the center of Protaras, you can see picturesque small bays. Two of them are indicated on MapsMe maps as Armyropigano Bay and Skoutarospilioi Bay. There is no beach as such, but it is crystal pure water and not a single tourist, there are stones around and fossilized ancient corals of bizarre shapes typical of the Cypriot coast, you can swim - there are entries into the water.

There is a hotel nearby, so there will be tourists, but not in such numbers as in the central part of Protaras.

You can also get to these beaches by car, which worth renting, if you want to see more of Cyprus.

Kapparis Bay

Kapparis Bay– This is a medium-sized marina; you can rent a boat and explore the area from the sea. The water, like everywhere else in Protaras, is crystal clear, the beach is not crowded, there are several apartments and a small hotel nearby.

Opposite the marina there is a small beach, the sand is dark yellow and wet. There are several hotels and apartments nearby. The beach is popular among both tourists and locals.

Trinity Beach

A miniature oval bay divided into two parts, small and larger. This beach belongs to the coast of Paralimni. The sand is yellow and wet, a bit like the one in Larnaca. The beach is only worthy of visiting for the sake of variety - I wouldn’t spend a long time here.

KalamisBeach (Kalamis beach)

Beach Landmark – Church of St. Nicholas in traditional blue and white colors, it blends organically into the landscape and is pleasing to the eye.

Kalamis Beach- a very beautiful bay, apparently artificially created like many bays in Protaras. Close up on the beach yellow sand, a gentle entrance to the water and a walking path along the perimeter of the beach. At one of the ends of the bay there is a ledge that serves observation deck. There are sunbeds and umbrellas available for a fee, as elsewhere in Cyprus. It’s better to have your own umbrella; during your vacation, its cost will be recouped three times.

Polyxenia Beach

A small beach that is popular with guests of nearby hotels. Well-groomed area, few people. There is a walking path along the beach - a promenade along which it is pleasant to walk along the sea.

PerneraBeach

Pernera - enough famous beach, oval with a gentle, good entrance into the water and standard clean water. Due to its geography, there are practically no waves in the bay - perfect for families with small children.

There are quite a few hotels and apartments near the beach, which is why the beach is crowded during the season. The beach is close to the center of Protaras and can be reached by rental car, taxi or bus number 102 from Ayia Napa.

Sunrise Beach

The main city beach of Protaras, despite its crowdedness, I consider it the best if you prefer a classic family beach holiday. The most developed infrastructure and a length of more than a kilometer make it the most popular. The disadvantage is that in July-August this beach is quite crowded. If you live near Sunrise Beach, you can alternate it with Fig Tree Beach, which is nearby and make forays into deserted Fireman's beach and in the bays nearby - this is on the border with Northern Cyprus, next to the “green line” - the green line dividing the island.

FigTreeBeach

Fig Tree Beach- continuation of the city's Sunrise Beach. This is the most popular and most popular beach in Protaras. Of course, Fig Tree Beach is a very beautiful beach - a natural oval coastline, fig trees along the perimeter from which it got its name and central location in Protaras.

At the top of Fig Tree Beach there is a viewing gazebo and a promenade path that runs along the entire central part of Protaras.

Hotels near Fig Tree Beach can be found on Booking.com or RoomGuru.
