Alagadı (Turtle) Beach, approximately 19km east of Kyrenia, is where the Society for the Protection of Turtles (SPOT) has its small monitoring station called the Goat Shed where you can find out about turtle conservation. This is not really used as a swimming beach, but you are able to enjoy the habitat. Its twin sandy beaches are intentionally undeveloped, as they are considered turtle territory, and the beach is closed from 8pm to 8am from May to October.
If you get hungry, family-run St Kathleen’s Restaurant is on the nearby main road. The meze, grills and fish dishes are excellent and good value.
