The drive to the very edge of Karpaz, the gorgeous peninsula on the east side of Northern Cyprus, is definitely worth it for the splendid Golden Beach. The wide sand dunes stretches for miles and you are very likely to have a lot of space to yourself. Here you can relax on the soft sand or enjoy a nice stroll, all while soaking up the amazing views of the crystal clear waters and the mountains in the background. If you are lucky you can also spot green sea turtles as this is where they come to lay their eggs. Golden Beach is the biggest beach on the Karpaz Peninsula, however the whole peninsula is stunningly beautiful and is definitely worth a visit.
