Best beaches in Paphos
Paphos is home to the longest stretch of coastline in Cyprus so there are lots of beaches to choose from, a few are sandy whilst most are a mixture of pebble and sand.
Two of the most popular beaches in Paphos are Paphos Municipal Beach and Alykes Beach.
Easily accessible in the centre of town, Paphos Municipal Beach is positioned next to the promenade. It is not a conventional beach. Pathos Municipal Beach has a concrete surface and wooden deck, furnished with sunbeds, parasols and ladders for easy entry into the sea. Its convenient location in town makes it a much-visited spot.
However there is a far bigger range of beautiful beaches and coves if you travel a little further out of town.
For a quiet beach in a picturesque setting, head to Faros Beach or Coral Bay. Coral Bay is a pretty, sandy cove hidden by the cliffs that surround. Its calm, shallow waters, beachside bars and restaurants, as well as its close proximity to town, make it a particular favourite with families.

Other notable beaches and bays include the Blue Lagoon – a jewel blue inlet of water, perfect for diving, tucked into the cliffs and rocks on the outskirts of Latchi.
Take a boat tour from Pathos up to the Blue Lagoon for easy access to this breathtaking spot where you can dive off the cliffs, swim to its shallow edges and relax in the warm waters of the Mediterranean.
Remote Lara Bay is another special spot. Home to the Lara Bay Turtle Conservation Station this is the famous place where the island's loggerhead and green turtles come to nest. A visit to Lara Bay means a trip to the conservation centre because you don't want to alarm the turtles in their natural habitat.
In the conservation centre you can find out lots of interesting information about the turtles and see rescue turtles up close.
