governor's beach, cyprus

Is the nearest public beach from Skarinou, just a few kilometres off the Larnaca – Limassol motorway (exit 16) and some 15 minutes drive from Skarinou. Despite the singular name, Governor’s Beach consists of several coves of fine dark sand, contrasting dramatically with the low, chalk cliffs which back them. The beaches fill quickly at week-ends and each cove is lorded over by spruced-up tavernas, each having manicured lawn-gardens sloping down to the sand, with steps or a ramp for access.

Recommendation:
Convenient, safe bathing and good parking facilities and a choice of eight tavernas each offering a range of reasonably priced meals including fresh fish from the ‘catch of the day’ menu. Well recommended day and evening.
