Paralimni Beach is a popular destination among locals who spend their days swimming, fishing, eating, and drinking. The beach is known for its crystal clear water, making it an excellent spot for snorkeling. Visitors are advised to bring a swimming mask, snorkel, and flippers to fully enjoy the oceanic wildlife. Turtles can be spotted at certain times of the year.
The beach is accessible by 4wd vehicles, but it can also be reached on foot from the nearest streets. However, the journey involves a dirt road, so caution is advised for cars. The beach tends to be quiet and less crowded during weekdays, but it fills up with locals on weekends.
Paralimni Beach offers good services at fair prices. Amenities include umbrellas, beds, toilets, and showers. There are also free sand beaches in the surrounding area. The beach's parking area is shared with a neighboring dog-friendly beach. However, visitors have noted that the car park can be littered.
One unique feature of Paralimni Beach is its view of the Ghost Town Varosha Famagusta, which has been uninhabited for nearly 50 years. However, visitors should be aware that the water's edge is lined with smooth rocks that can be slippery, making it difficult to enter the water.
