Fireman's Beach (Kapparis)

Charming cliff-sheltered sandy cove in Kapparis offering views across the bay towards Famagusta.

Fireman's Beach (also called Armyropigado or Scouts Beach) sits tucked beneath high sandstone cliffs at the northern end of Kapparis. A wooden staircase descends from the clifftop park to the golden sand below.

Sheltered by the surrounding bluffs, the water is calm, offering clear swimming and commanding views across Famagusta Bay.

Tips before you go

  • Enjoy the sweeping coastal view from the cliff-top benches before taking the steps down.
  • Kiosk at the top serves cold drinks and ice cream.
  • Clear water is ideal for leisurely swimming and snorkeling along the rocky edges.

How to get there

At the northern terminus of Kapparis Avenue, right before the buffer zone overlook.
