Extra information

Rules
Zones, Other

Very good beach for beginners. The beach is within the British Sovereign Base area and is a turtle nesting site for a highly endangered population, therefore driving on the beach is illegal and so is the nighttime use.

Nightlife

Go to Limassol or Paphos for town night life, bars available by the dozen at around villages too, Episkopi, Erimi etc.
