Beaches & PoolsCortado Beach, Famagusta coast
A quieter, less-developed beach on the Famagusta coast — fine golden sand, clear water, basic loungers and a few cafés nearby. A relaxed alternative to the busier resort beaches further north.
Beaches & PoolsBedi's Beach, near Salamis
Casual beach-bar and sandy beach next to the Salamis ruins — cheap loungers, a pier popular with jumping kids, live music nights and the kind of café food a long beach day asks for.
Beaches & PoolsEMU Beach Club, Famagusta
Private beach club operated by Eastern Mediterranean University for its students, staff and guests — sandy beach, large pool, restaurant and a year-round social calendar within walking distance of the campus.
Beaches & PoolsGhost Town Beach (Maraş), Famagusta
A beach reopened in 2020 beside Varosha, the abandoned former resort district of Famagusta — a striking, slightly surreal swim against the backdrop of empty 1970s tower blocks.
Beaches & PoolsGlapsides Beach, Famagusta

Iskele Public Beach (Makenzi)
Free municipal public beach on the Iskele coast — soft sand, clear water, sun loungers, lifeguards, cycling and trekking paths, playground and a beach restaurant.

Beaches & PoolsKocareis Beach, North Cyprus
Quieter 400-metre sandy beach east of Famagusta with bungalows, a restaurant, water sports and lifeguards — a calmer alternative to the busier Iskele resort beaches.
