Protaras beach is a highly popular tourist spot during the summer due to the multitude of activities it offers. A wooden promenade stretching almost 1km from the Panea viewpoint to the Protaras pier allows for leisurely walks. The pier also serves as a loading and unloading point for boat tours along the Cyprus coastline. Visitors can enjoy water sports, sun beds, restaurants, and hotels throughout the area. Lifeguards are on duty from morning until night to ensure safe swimming. The beach also offers free parking and wheelchair accessibility.
