Ayfilon Beach is on the coast of the Karpaz peninsula, at the far eastern end of the island, a few kilometres from the village of Dipkarpaz.

It is named after the ruined church of Ayios Philon that stands behind the shore, on the site of the ancient town of Karpasia. It is a long drive from Kyrenia or Famagusta (Gazimağusa), so plan it as part of a full day on the peninsula.
