Governor's Beach - Blue Flag — Attraction in Pentakomo

This is one of the smaller beaches along the south coast of Cyprus but its size is one of its attractive features. Frequented predominantly by locals (some tourists were present) its black sand is an interesting alternative to the picture-postcard white sand of some of the bigger beaches/tourist hot spots. But it's free of shingle, soft on the feet and has a gradual slope into the water, making it ideal for young children to paddle in or just play in the waters edge. There are no strong currents to worry about and the water isn't too choppy either, given the beach is tucked away in a wee inlet. Ample parking (free) on site and steps all the way onto the beach. Just a 2 minute walk away. You have the option of renting a sun lounger (with an umbrella was 5 euros when visited in May '19) and there are changing facilities on site in the cafe by the car park.

Three different small beaches separated by white rocks. We prefer parking at Kalymnos tavern because of the beautiful views you get of the sea before you take the stairs down to the beach. Free and big parking too, 50cent showers by the restaurant. Great place for families with kids as kids love swimming near the rocks and caves. Only a 20 minute drive...
