This beach is really nice and has plenty of sun beds. It's quite long and there are a couple of restaurants/bars where you can grab a drink. It's also great for kids because the water is shallow for a good distance before it gets deeper. You can even find some water sports providers there if you're into that kind of thing. Overall, I definitely recommend this beach.

After a refreshing rainfall, the beach appears crystal clear and pristine. The water is warm and inviting and the sand feels like fine powder sugar between your toes. A restaurant on the beach serves up delicious fish, calamari, and salads, with impeccable service and reasonable prices. You can rent two sun beds for just 1€, and enjoy a meal for two for only 25€. Taxis are readily available for a mere 3€, making transportation a breeze. The locals in Magusa are incredibly friendly and polite, making you feel right at home. The city is safe and peaceful, allowing you to take leisurely strolls at any time of day or night. Banks are easily accessible, and both euros and Turkish lira are widely accepted. This beach and city come highly recommended for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

This beach is simply divine! Strolling along the sandy shores is an absolute breeze, thanks to the well-maintained wooden paths leading to the two delightful restaurants nestled on the beach. And if you're a parent, you'll be thrilled to know that this beach is pram-friendly, making it a great spot for a family day out. Plus, the beach is always kept spick and span, so you can relax and soak up the sun without a care in the world. Trust me, you won't want to leave this slice of paradise!
