Lonely Planet review for Lady's Mile Beach
This shadeless 7km stretch of hard-packed sand and pebble is the town's closest beach. Named after a horse owned by a former colonial governor who exercised his mare on the beach, it runs south beyond Lemesos' New Port along the eastern side of the British-controlled Akrotiri Peninsula. There is a rather awful power station at its eastern end; the beach (and the view) get better the further south you go.
On summer weekends, the citizens of Lemesos flock here in large numbers to relax in the rather shallow waters. A couple of beach taverns serve the crowds and provide some respite from an otherwise barren beachscape. Bring your own shade if you plan to sit on the beach all day. Getting here requires your own transport.
