Lara Beach
wild beach on the Akamas coast where sea turtles nest
Why go
Lara is a pair of neighbouring bays on the northwest coast of the Akamas, where loggerhead and green turtles lay their eggs. The northern bay, Ammoudi, has a hatchery and an information centre of the Department of Fisheries. By day you can swim, walk the coastal path and look at the fenced hatchery; there are no sunbeds, bar or changing rooms.
Good for: nature lovers, walkers and snorkellers
⚠️ Safety
There are no lifeguards and the west-facing coast can be rough, so swim carefully. At night do not shine lights or come within 10 metres of a turtle or nest marker. Bring water, shade and sturdy shoes, and take your rubbish away.
