Makenzy Beach (Larnakas)

Makenzy (Mackenzie) Beach is Larnaca's lively organised city beach, backed by a buzzing strip of cafés, bars and restaurants. Visitors praise its clean yellow sand, calm shallow water and relaxed atmosphere, with affordable sunbeds and umbrellas reported at around EUR 2.50 to 3 per day. The beach carries Blue Flag status and offers plenty to do: beach volleyball courts, windsurfing, and other water sports rentals sit alongside space to simply lay out your own towel and unwind.

Sitting close to Larnaca's old airport, it is famous for the spectacle of planes coming in low to land overhead, a favourite with visitors sipping coffee at sunset. Nearby you will find the Salt Lake and Flamingo Beach just minutes away, plus a striking sandstone rock in the water by the Flamingo Beach Hotel. Quieter in the late afternoon and after the summer high season, it comes alive again at night when people gather for drinks and parties. Ideal for families, groups and sun-seekers wanting easy city-beach convenience.
