Larnaka’s most famous promenade of Phinikoudes (Palm Tree) is a 600 meter long stretch that combines coast, entertainment and culture along its palm tree lined length. The sands are fine and varying shades of brown and beige, and the sea waters are calm and shallow, flanked by the marina with its pier and fishing harbour at one end, and a second pier and the Medieval Fort at the other. Facilities on the Blue Flag beach include toilets, showers, changing rooms, sun beds, umbrellas, dustbins, recycling bins and beach bars, whilst the strip is also lined with cafes, bars, restaurants, kiosks, hotels and entertainment establishments, as well as benches and abundance of greenery. The beach is home to various water sports, and also hosts major sporting tournaments on its sands, as well as concerts on its Seafront Stage. As such, it attracts all crowds, and is particularly popular for families both during the day and evening.
