Faros Beach, Sandy beach in Pervolia, Cyprus.
Faros Beach is a sandy shoreline in Pervolia with shallow waters sheltered by natural dykes planted with trees. The facility includes showers, restrooms, sunbed rentals, and multiple refreshment stations along the coast.
The beach takes its name from a lighthouse that has guided Mediterranean ships near Pervolia since early navigation times. This navigational landmark shaped the area's connection to seafaring for centuries.
Local families gather here during summer months to celebrate traditional Cypriot festivals and share meals with folk music performances by the water.
Lifeguard services operate from June through September, with basic amenities including showers and restrooms available year-round. The natural tree barriers shield the area from northern winds, keeping conditions comfortable throughout the season.
The trees lining the beach dykes create a rare natural wind barrier that enables swimming well beyond the typical season. This adaptation makes it one of the lesser-known year-round swimming spots on this coast.
