Lady’s Mile beach

Lady’s Mile beach is located in Asomatos of Limassol near the Aliki Akrotiriou and is less than 10 km west of Limassol in the homonymous province of Cyprus.

Lady’s Mile beach got its name during the British rule of the island, by an officer, who chose the eastern side of the Cape of Limassol for his daily rides on his horse Lady. The locals refer to it also as Aplostra (stretcher), because of the way the shore “stretches” along the sea coast, but, even though this is the official name listed, Lady’s Mile is more widely used.

Until a few years back, Lady’s Mile beach was the only beach the locals could actually enjoy. The rest of the waterfront was inaccessible, until the 1980s, when the Arabs discovered the natural charms of Limassol. As a result begun the touristic development of the area, but the only place that could not be exploited under any jurisdiction, was this particular beach.

So today, the nearly pristine and exotic coastline with a length of almost six kilometers on Lady’s Mile beach has dark sand that conceals many sea shells and turquoise shallow waters, as well as strong winds which often cause sandstorms. Along the coastline you will find various facilities offering the bathers umbrellas and sun loungers, showers, changing rooms and toilets. From April to October there are also lifeguards and first aid services.

The surrounding area of ​​the Lady’s Mile beach is very popular with locals for its fish restaurants, and just one kilometer from the beach you can visit one of the most important wetlands in Europe. Behind the many sand dunes to the south of the beach you will discover concealed bays where you can enjoy the sea in isolation.

Finally, Lady’s Mile beach is easily accessible by car since there are plenty parking spaces available, as well as by public transportation.
