Return To Lara Bay
No Umbrellas!

I want to emphasise the No Umbrellas bit, because a Tourism Website we saw actually encourages people to bring their own as there aren't any at the bay. There is a reason there aren't any at the bay - they aren't allowed.

Interesting Sandcastles

I'm not sure what the official stance on sandcastles is, but I would imagine they would frown on anything too deep.
Golden Sands

As to the beach itself, you will be hard-pressed to find a finer one in Cyprus, and especially not on the west of the island. If you like your home comforts though, this is not for you.
Everybody Needs Good Neighbours

And if you do come for a swim, remember that you will be sharing the beach with the real stars of the show.
Cages

The official reason for the cages - both metal and improvised - that they place over the turtle nests, is to deter foxes. Unofficially, I think they alert humans where not to plonk their towels.

Lara Bay
Lara Bay is a bit of an enigma. If you approach from the direction of Paphos and Coral Bay, on the main road, you may well end at the beach by Lara Bay Restaurant. Confusingly, this is not Lara Bay. So go back to the main track, and continue into the Akamas for a little while longer. The turtles await...Good Pages To Visit

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
