Mackenzie Beach is Larnaca’s beach for a swim followed by a meal on the waterfront. Its brown-beige sand runs close to the airport, so aircraft on approach are part of the view. Choose it for a lively beachfront and practical facilities rather than a secluded cove.
Swimming and beach facilities
Visit Cyprus describes the water as shallow and generally calm. Toilets, showers and changing rooms make a beach day easier, with sunbeds and umbrellas available to rent. €2.50 per sunbed, €2.50 per umbrella; €7.50 for two sunbeds and one umbrella. Last updated prices: summer 2026. Conditions vary: check beach flags and follow lifeguard advice before entering the water.
Getting there and parking
The beach has a municipal car park and can be reached on foot, by bicycle, bus or car. A large car park does not guarantee a free space; check signs for charges and restrictions. Accessible beach entry is listed by the tourism authority; confirm the arrangements you need before travelling.
Food, planes and a longer Larnaca day
Cafés, restaurants and beach bars line the shore. Plane spotting gives Mackenzie its own character, but the airport setting also means aircraft noise. Pair your beach visit with the Foinikoudes promenade or explore the wider Larnaca waterfront instead of treating the beach as your only stop.
Facilities information checked on 4 October 2026 against Visit Cyprus. Sunbed and umbrella prices were last updated in summer 2026; seasonal services may change.
