Mackenzie stretches along the coast towards Larnaca airport. Its sand and gently shelving water make it a favourite with locals, and it has repeatedly earned Blue Flag status.
Planes on final approach pass overhead, which keeps plane-spotters happy. A seafront path links it with the town centre.
Good to know
It is organised with lifeguards and sunbeds in summer. Weekends get busy, and weekdays are calmer.
