I have cousins somewhere in Cyprus. If you ask specific questions, I can try to find out for you.

Do You know if they are in Northern Cyprus (Occupied by Turkey) or in the Independant Southern Cyprus?

That doesn't mean any of the water activities are open. I was there last year in October and it was the last week everything was open.

I guess compared to Atlantic City, but it's far from "stunning".

To be honest with You guys, I can't really do any extreme Watersports on this trip because I'm traveling with my Wife, who Thank G-D is Pregenant with our First child. So I'm Taking her on a Surprise "Baby-Moon" for 4 days. TLV - LCA - TLV. She loves beaches. So I hope it'll just be a Relaxing weekend on the water. Any tips that You can share from Your trip?

The beaches (and water caves) in Ayia Napa are much nicer than Larnaca, well worth the 40 minute drive.

Any idea of where we can get a sort of Quiet/Secluded/Tznius place to swim in the general LCA area?

Shouldn't be too hard to find. Beaches weren't crowded in Larnaca when I was there in October time.

Nicosia.

That doesn't help, Nicosia is split into 2 parts, half Cyprus and half Turkey.

It also has nothing to do with beaches which the op mentioned was somewhat the point of this trip. It's way too cold for beaches though.
