Golden Beach (Nangomi)
Altınkum / Νάγκομη
One of the most beautiful undeveloped beaches in Cyprus, with kilometers of golden dunes stretching along the coast and nesting grounds for sea turtles.
Golden Beach lies inside the national park at the eastern tip of the peninsula. Its soft golden sand stretches about 3 km, backed by rolling dunes. The water is shallow and bright blue, and there is almost no large-scale development, only a few simple wooden huts serving as guesthouses and seaside restaurants. The beach is a nesting ground for green turtles and loggerhead turtles. In summer, lights and tents are banned on the sand at night. There is no shade on the beach, so bring your own sunshade. Wild donkeys are often seen nearby. It is about a 20-minute drive from Dipkarpaz.
