A sand bank connects the islet to the shore and you can paddle across if you wish to. Water sports are available, including jet skis, canoes and pedal boats.There is also a scuba diving school. It can get very busy in the summer thought the eastern end, where jet skis and boats are banned, is much quieter. Open-air night parties bring in the youngsters with club music from European Djs. The Deniz Kizi Beach-Golden Bay Beach:Around the headland is the private Deniz Kizi or Mermaid Beach.Set in an attractive horseshoe bay the beach belongs to two hotels, the Deniz Kizi and Deniz Kizi Royal, so it can get very busy.Just above the beach is a large freshwater swimming pool open to the public.As well as the usual sun loungers there is a variety of water sports including windsurfing, water skiing and fun rafts for the children.

Camelot Beach:Still heading west of Kyrenia,beyond the villages of Karaoglanoglu and Alsancak is the village of Lapta.Here a small private sandy beach, also called Incirli Plaji, is signposted from the Friends Beach Bar and Restaurant.The shoreline water is very shallow making it ideal for children.There is the restaurant and a bar, free toilets and sun loungers for hire.

Sand has been dumped by the lorry load to make it more attractive but it gets rocky underfoot in the water. There are sun loungers to rent and a small restaurant for food and drink. There are also jet skis to hire, which can make for a noisy day for those not into watersports. Vogue Beach Club:With its ice cream bar, restaurant and disco, Vogue Beach Club is only a few minutes away from Acapulco Beach.It offers many water sports including famous banana riding and jet skiing.Its nice restaurant offer delicious pizzas and you can get a free ice cream with your entrance ticket. Alagadi:These public sands are is also known as Turtle Beach for obvious reasons. It's about 20km from Kyrenia.Access is down a rough track to two beach strips either side of a small headland of shingle and sand backed by low dunes.Alagadi is a sandy beach and the water stays shallow for quite a distance.There is a small islet that you can wade to though the sea floor is very rocky. Facilties are limited to a restaurant on the main road and the Green Turtles Beach Bar in summer but there are toilets there. Green and loggerhead turtles come and lay their eggs in the summer.During the egg-laying season the beach area for sitting on is marked out with red painted markers.Beaches are closed overnight and patrolled by students in the egg laying season from June to October. Karaagac Beach:North Cyprus beaches are often are near historic sights, but this one actually IS a historic sight! This tiny shingle bay, tucked away from the road, was the harbour of the ancient town of Kharcha. It’s not an easy beach to access; you’ll need to park at the top of the stony track and walk down, a fifteen-minute hike. Once you reach the harbour, you can see a Roman jetty and the area is scattered with fragments of pottery and carved stone. The east coast,towards the Karpas peninsula,has its own treasures; sand dunes bordered by wild olive groves, gently sloping beaches with clear waters. However, due to the rugged terrain a reliable four-wheel drive vehicle is essential.Don't forget to take an umbrella with you, and your refreshments if you are planning to spend your day there on the beach.Golden Sandy beach,Malibu Beach.The sands and the waters around the Island are of such a high standard that even the green turtles have chosen to lay their eggs here. Green turtles come ashore during July and August and dig holes during the night and lay their eggs. Interestingly, ecologists, and others with an interest in wildlife, students in particular, observe and protect these fascinating creatures from extinction.
