About Golden Beach

Golden Beach is a sandy beach located at the Karpaz peninsula in Northern Cyprus. OpenStreetMap lists a nearby beach called Issız Plaj, approximately 7.3 kilometers away. OpenStreetMap also lists three free parking areas within 500 meters of the beach.

From Wikipedia

The Golden Beach (Turkish: Altın Kumsal; Greek: Ναγγομὶ, romanized: Nangomi, also known as Greek: Χρυσή Ακτή, romanized: Chrysí Actí (ellenization of the Turkish name), and Pashi Amos ("Fat Sand Beach")) is a wide sand beach, located near Rizokarpaso in the Karpass Peninsula

It stretches about four kilometers from Galunopetra (Iyitaş) cape on the east to Jyles cape on the south-west. On the eastern part, the dunes extend up to 500m towards the inland. The beach area is separated into two sections by a small hill, Adatepe, and by a large light colored sand dune without vegetation.
