The 16km seafront has many coves which are great to swim or fish from.
This area of Cyprus is famous for the many apartments and hotels which stretch along the seafront.
Some of the top hotels include the popular Four Seasons Hotel.
We stayed for a long time at a friends apartment next to the Londa Hotel.
It is a very trendy boutique hotel with a private beach which is a mixture of sand and pebbles.
This is a great place to relax and unwind. Should you feel energetic there are water sports to enjoy. During the summer months the sea is amazingly warm so great for swimming. There are lots of restaurants and clubs right on your doorstep.
Limassol Beaches ~ Ladies’s Mile Beach
One of the nearest and most popular family Limassol beaches is Ladie’s Mile which is 4kms west of Limassol and about a ten minute drive from the center of town.
We used to take our daughter swimming here when she was very young. The sea is shallow and safe so ideal for children. There are a few tavernas but there’s no shade at all, so don’t forget your hat or parasol and sun cream!

Kourion Beach is situated between Paphos and Limassol, approximately 18 – 20 kms west of Limassol.
As you can see from the photo the backdrop to the beach is truly stunning with the amazing Greco-Roman Amphitheatre of Kourion overlooking the beach.
The sea around here can at times be a bit wild so take care. It’s great for sailing and handgliding and the sandy beach is perfect for relaxing or having fun on.
