Fig Tree Bay beach was much of the reason for the development of Protaras.
Next to Nissi Beach, this is the most popular beach on the island and it is the favorite with locals. The beach is marked by a fig tree which, according to local legend, was brought by invaders in the 17th century.

The beach also has numerous water-sports facilities and cafes.
Protaras has many hotels and hotel apartments, and the main road is lined with restaurants and tourist shops.
