Bafra Beach

Bafra Beach, a new luxury resort located on the Karpas peninsula in Northern Cyprus, has rapidly become a sought-after vacation destination. The resort is known for its beautiful sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, making it a perfect locale for water sports such as windsurfing, sailing, fishing, water skiing, parasailing, banana boat rides, and jet skiing. The shallow waters of the beach also make it an ideal and safe place for children to play.

The resort not only offers opportunities for active holidays but also provides various amenities. These include premium 5-star hotels with different catering options, a beach club, and professional spa centers. The resort also boasts sports facilities like tennis courts and beach volleyball. As part of the entertainment, visitors can enjoy animation programs with games, sports, dancing, live music, and shows.

However, the popularity of Bafra Beach means that it can get crowded, particularly on weekends. Thus, those who prefer a less crowded environment are suggested to visit on weekdays. Despite its popularity, the beach is well-maintained and clean, although visitors occasionally report finding litter, particularly cigarette butts.

Bafra Beach also provides wheelchair-accessible seating areas and a moderately large cafe that offers quick, reasonably priced meals. Additional facilities include toilets and showers that work with tokens, which can be purchased at the register.

While the resort offers excursions to nearby attractions such as Famagusta, Salamis Ruins, Kyrenia, Nicosia, and Karpas, visitors are advised to be cautious while swimming due to reports of local marine life biting if they encounter any scabs or cuts. Despite these minor inconveniences, Bafra Beach continues to be considered one of the top holiday destinations in North Cyprus.
