Fig Tree Bay

Fig Tree Bay, located at the southern end of the promenade, is popular with both vacationing families and snorkelers due to its sheltered location and shallow depths. As with all beaches in Cyprus, public access is free, but sunbeds and umbrellas must be rented. Within a short walk, there is a municipal parking lot. The beach stretches for 500 meters, and the waters are clean enough for the beach to be designated as a blue flag beach. The beach gets its name from the fig trees that grow nearby.

There is an uninhabited islet that can be reached by swimming through shallow waters, and its location provides good shelter for the rest of the beach. Low-level local vegetation covers the islet. In contrast to other nearby beaches, such as Nissi, Fig Tree Bay has become a popular family destination. There are water sports available, such as water skiing, windsurfing, and parasailing. Lifeguards and lifesaving equipment are available on the beach from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. from April to October.

Protara Beach has been awarded the Blue Flag, is one of the best beaches in the world. According to TripAdvisor, this beach is among the ten best beaches in Europe and 19 best beaches in the world.
