Mackenzie Beach

Mackenzie Beach is one of the most beloved coastal spots in Larnaca, Cyprus — and it’s easy to see why. Stretching along a long sandy shore on the edge of the Mediterranean, this beach combines classic seaside relaxation with a unique local vibe. The calm, shallow waters are perfect for swimming and wading, making it ideal for families, couples, and solo travelers alike. Along the beachfront you’ll find a lively promenade dotted with cafés, bars and restaurants — perfect for enjoying a cold drink, a fresh meal, or just watching the sunset after a day in the sun. The beach also offers umbrellas, sunbeds, water sports, and plenty of space to walk or jog beside the shore.

Why we love this place

One of the most memorable features here is the airplane spotting experience: because the beach sits right next to Larnaca International Airport, jets fly gently overhead as they land and take off, creating an exciting atmosphere that’s become a bucket-list moment for many visitors.
