Golden Beach, in Turkish Altınkum, is a long stretch of sand backed by dunes near the far eastern end of the Karpaz peninsula, about 15 km east of Dipkarpaz (Rizokarpaso).

The beach is largely undeveloped, and sea turtles nest along this coast in summer, so keep away from marked nests. The Apostolos Andreas Monastery is about 3 km further east.
