Noname Beach

We only happened on our penultimate beach by chance recently. If you are heading from Latsi to Polis, there is a tarmac road on your left, just after the Municipal Beach, which leads indirectly to the camp site. If you take this road, and turn left immediately past the little estate of villas, you end up here. Be careful how far you drive down this track though, as it gets sandy. We visited here for a swim a few days ago, and saw a BMW getting pulled out of the sand by a 4x4. So park where the ground is still hard.

It is less hectic than the municipal beach, and the campsite you can see in the distance. There is no lifeguard here, but there is an artificial reef so the chances of getting caught in a rip tide are pretty low. There are also free showers here, so this is definitely worth a look.

Polis Campsite Beach

We will end part one with a trip to Polis Campsite Beach. Please note if you visit here they are limiting the numbers of cars in the carpark using a barrier system. Don't just come hurtling down the track, or you will hit a bollard. Go through the gate and around. There is still plenty of parking, but this way they can easily count how many cars there are, so close it if the beach gets too full.

As you can see, at the moment there is no danger of it being too full. We did shoot this during the week though. In part two we shall endeavour to photograph some of the beaches on a Sunday. You will then get to see more sun worshippers.

To Be Continued...

This beach is actually quite remarkable. During the winter, a river runs through here, and with the deluges of the last two seasons, this has taken quite a battering. Whoever repairs it before the summer does an excellent job.

In our final look at the post-lockdown beaches of Cyprus, we shall start at Kato Pyrgos, to the East of here, and head back up to Limni Pier. It will probably cover some of the least well-known beaches, but we think we have saved some of the best until last.
