Lady's Mile Big Beach — Local services in Cyprus

A beautiful, long stretch of beach just outside Limassol with calm, shallow waters perfect for swimming, especially for families with children. The beach is mostly sandy with some pebbly parts, and there are plenty of spots to relax with sunbeds and umbrellas for rent.

There are also nice seaside taverns for a meal or coffee with a view. It’s generally peaceful on weekdays and gets livelier on weekends. Parking is easy and free, and access is straightforward by car.

Tips:

Bring water, sunscreen, and a hat — it can get very hot, especially midday.

Ideal times to visit are early morning or late afternoon.

Keep your dog on a leash to avoid disturbing the wildlife.

Don’t leave trash behind and avoid smoking or lighting fires.

In case of emergency or fire, call 112 immediately.

Keep an eye out for insects like mosquitoes and reptiles like snakes (including vipers) near the riverbanks — best to wear proper shoes if exploring off-path. Above all, respect nature and enjoy a refreshing swim in one of Cyprus’ most beloved coastal spots.

The sea was clean and you could walk out for 50 to 60 mtrs before The water got what I would call deep which suited both my wife and daughter because they don't like not being able to...

I'm giving Lady's Mile a 4 stars only because I know it's not for everyone. But we love it! The water is SO clear and you usually get plenty of space to yourself (less so on busy summer weekends). Closer to the Oasis Restaurant end, it is shingle and pebble, so getting in and out of the sea is trickier. The further towards the military base you go, the sandier the beach becomes. The salt lake behind is a very special place. The masts, port and military stuff don't make for the best of views, but just enjoy the beach! There are also restaurants etc with beach beds, food and drink, and music, if that is more your thing. Very very bumpy dirt track to get there, just makes...
