Larnaca is an easy place to bring the kids to the sea. The beaches here tend to have calm, shallow water and soft sand, with sunbeds, umbrellas and showers close at hand. Several hold Blue Flag status, including Yiannades Beach in Oroklini, Mackenzie Beach and Kastella by the Psarolimano fishing harbour.
In the city itself, Finikoudes runs along a palm-lined promenade of cafes and restaurants, while the wider Larnaca Beach offers free space and a lively seafront strip. For quieter days, Cessac Beach at Dhekelia Bay has a playground and a well-loved fish and chips spot nearby, and Spyros Seaside near Pervolia is a calm, clean pick for families and dog owners.
CTO Beach adds beach-volleyball courts, a refreshment kiosk and plenty of free parking. Whether you want the buzz of the promenade or a low-key swim, these eight spots cover it.
