Agia Triada Beach
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 200 m curving length.
Mouzuora Beach
A small and popular with the Cypriots, the beach has 100 length narrow sand strip and some shade under the trees. Not much suitable for non-swimmers or children, as the sand decreases quite steeply. The parking facilities are good, and there is a large hotel and restaurants for holiday makers who choose to base here.
Louma Beach
The northern extension of Protaras, called Pernera is the busy centre. The 400 m curving strand of the beach is protected by an artificial bay. The beach has tree-shade, soft sand and clean water.

Fig Tree Bay
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 17 th 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. If you decide to spend your holiday here, remember that Salparo Hotel Apartments mark the north end of the bay, and the Nausicaa Beach Hotel Apartments the southern edge.

The north side provides the umbrellas and loungers to rent and in the southern part one can find some little sandstone platforms. Recommended is own picnic.
