From Famagusta, it takes 15 mins to get there [going north]. Well, Salamis Beach combines the natural beauty with the historical background. The ruins of old Salamis city are next to the beach. On the beach, you are not disturbed by locals and other people.
You might see locals strolling up and down to beach. When you spot someone, it's better to wrap up in a towel or put on your swimming suit. Some locals are Turkish and they might not tolerate nude sunbathers.
One report cautions that Salamis Beach is one of those gay places and suggests to try to keep away from bushes (locals directly address those who stay around bushes as gay). Another report could not confirm this.

Swimming and tanning naked is still possible. Occasionally there are fishermen but they don’t care. In March during a weekend, beach is empty. In May during a weekday, beach is empty. July: mostly possible on weekdays, impossible during weekends.

August Report: Because the beach is extremely crowded during weekends, I do advise you to get there sometime between Monday and Friday.
