Escape Beach: a practical note for Girne
Club energy and clear water
Popular beach club west of Kyrenia. Loungers, music, water sports. Younger crowd, quieter for families in the early morning.
Escape Beach, west of Kyrenia on the Alsancak, Karşıyaka stretch, is one of the area's most popular beach clubs thanks to its wide sands. With clear water, sunbed-and-parasol layout, beach bars and water sports, it offers a lively atmosphere all day and draws a young, energetic crowd in summer.
For families and those seeking a calmer swim, the early morning hours are best. Entry and sunbeds may be charged and parking is limited, so arriving early pays off. Water sports cost extra.
