Private Beaches
Those who have already visited North Cyprus would agree that this island has been designed by nature as a great sea resort. Swimming, sunbathing, sailing, windsurfing, parascending, water skiing, banana riding, - you will find everything you want for an unforgettable vacation with your family. As the sea bottom in most of the beaches is plain parents can feel safe for their children who like playing in shallow places.
Private and hotel beaches have all the modern facilities to make staying at the beach as comfortable as possible. They offer visitors sun lounges, bathrooms, sunshades, showers, bars and restaurants. Some of the beaches have special equipment for water skiing, banana riding, Jet Ski, wind surfing, and scuba diving.
Note: All the private beaches have an entrance fee that can vary from 10 to 20 YTL per person.

Public Beaches
If you prefer to take pleasure in natural atmosphere we would advise you to go outside Kyrenia or Famagusta and spend a day in a wild or public beach. These places do not have any facilities, but bring you relaxation away from civilisation.
As some of the beaches don't have any places to eat, bring some refreshments and snacks with you. Don't forget towels and sand rugs, as well as the sun umbrella that will protect you from burning (you may purchase the latter for less than 7 Euros). A couple of bottles with drinking water are essential as staying under the sun makes the body lose a lot of liquids. Don't forget the importance of a good sunscreen protection.
Note: Please take into consideration that some Cypriot beaches are place for turtle's nests. During the egg-laying season the beach area for sitting on is marked out with red painted skates. Avoid leaving litter on the beach. It will preserve its natural beauty and environmental balance.
