Coral Bay

Located near Paphos and probably the most famous beach in the paphis area, Coral Bay Beach is the perfect place to head for a great beach that slopes gently into the sea to enjoy the warm sea water. Filled with fine, yellow sands, the beach is a huge attraction for tourists and residents alike and is surrounded by several restaurants, cafeterias, shops and bars so you can enjoy a few tropical cocktails after spending the afternoon in the sun.

Toxeftra

Just north of Agios Georgios at Toxeftra there's a long beach in a bay. With a bit of wind the waves can get up here - perfect for playing at surfing in between lying in the sun.

Lara

In the more remote Akamas Peninsula a 4x4 will take you to the beaches at Lara. You'll find long sandy beaches sloping gently into the warm sea - and you'll probably have the beaches to enjoy all on your own. Arguably the best beach on the island here.

Latsi (Latchi)

With a small harbour Latsi (latchi) also has a great, family-oriented beach within a short driving distance from Paphos. Located near a marina providing every form of watersports, the beach is a great place to lie in the sun before enjoying some of the fresh seafood sold in the restaurants and shops near the sandy beach. Hire a boat and go out to the blue lagoon where the water is an aqua colour and so clear you can still see the bottom over 100m out from the coastline.
