About Protaras
|
The beaches of Protaras comprise of 50m of hard-packed sand, rocks and cliffs falling apart. The bay is sheltered and there is an option of snorkeling here. In the area settle some good restaurants. Used mainly as a boat launching area, in the shallow water of this diminutive beach you will find the sand which is a little coarse. The beach is not visited that widely as there is a lack of restaurants and cars are often parked along its 200m curving length. This beach is the most popular within Protaras Beach. The British christened it “Fig Tree Bay” and the name was given after the single fig tree that stands guard back from the beach and is claimed to have been brought from the east in the 17th century. The beach has fine-grained sand, the sea is clear and it is supplied with recreational facilities like water-skiing, paragliding and more. Many tourists, however, find it difficult to spot the beach itself, as it is not signed from the inland bypass road, lined by a chain of restaurants. Only the hotels are indicated. To avoid the crowds, visit this beach. Although it is not signed clearly, the beach offers a neat swimming spot at the far southern end of the beach strip. It consists of the two parts. The north side provides the umbrellas and loungers to rent and in the southern part one can find some little sandstone platforms. |
