This sandy public beach is 4km north of Famagusta. Shallow and sheltered by its position in the bay, it’s popular with locals and great for kids.
There’s a beach bar and restaurant, and you can hire sun loungers and umbrellas. Jet skis, pedal-bikes and canoes are available for hire, and the conditions are great for snorkelling. The beach is also an avid birdwatching location during migratory seasons.
Glapsides is accessed via the path beside Golden Terrace restaurant, on the main road from Famagusta.
