The Blue Flag beach of Pyla known locally as the CTO Beach is great for a family day out to the beach.
There are water sports available, volleyball and football courts directly on the beach for your enjoyment.
There is also a children’s play area – consisting of climbing frames and plenty of space for the little ones to run around in.
On the beach there are plenty of sun beds and parasols available no matter what time of the day you decide to visit the beach.
The local sellers walk around quite often will fresh fruit of melon and pineapple for just a few euros’ which a refreshing treat with out too many calories.
The restaurant at the beach serves everything from Cypriot kebabs, pizza, salads, sandwiches and of course ice cream, prices are quite reasonable and service was excellent.
They are plenty of free parking at the CTO so no need to worry.
Further down the coat you will find Mackenzie beach is famous in Larnaca for its top location and sand quality again you will find water sports and a large selection of restaurants for lunch.
On a Sunday especially in Cyprus local families still share a family day and you will find most locals heading for the beach.
They drive there cars onto the beach front and organise a barbecue or picnic for the whole family they tend to arrive mid afternoon on a Sunday and will stay at the beach playing games and entertaining the children until the early evening when the sun starts to cool.
It reminds us of what our Sundays in the UK were in the past when all the family would gather for Sunday lunch, now Sundays in the UK are another day for the shops to open.
In Cyprus nearly all the shops are closed to try to keep Sunday a traditional day.
