Paphos is a seaside paradise where golden sand meets calm blue waters, perfect for sunseekers, families, and anyone dreaming of a holiday home. In our video, we visit four outstanding shores in Paphos: Venus Beach, Coral Bay Beach, Kafizis Beach, and Coralia Beach. Each offers its own charm. Coral Bay is especially “known for its golden sands” and crystal-clear waters, while reviewers note that local beaches generally have very calm swimming conditionswanderlog.com. Whether you’re a tourist, planning to relocate, or considering retirement here, these beaches in Paphos deliver big on beauty and seaside fun.
Venus Beach
Tucked just south of Paphos Town, Venus Beach is a small sandy cove right next to the ancient Tombs of the Kings archaeological park. This lovely beach has fine, soft sand and thanks to protective rock breakwaters, exceptionally calm, clear water. It’s ideal for a leisurely swim or gentle snorkeling. Families love Venus Beach because the shallow sea is very safe for children, and you can even wander over to explore the Tombs of the Kings after a day on the sand. In short, Venus Beach blends relaxation and history, making it a peaceful spot to unwind in Paphos.
Coral Bay Beach
Coral Bay Beach is a long, horseshoe-shaped stretch of soft golden sand just north of Paphos (in Peyia). It’s hugely popular with families. The water at Coral Bay is warm, shallow and calm, perfect for kids to splash around safely. You’ll find rows of sunbeds and umbrellas, plus lots of amenities along the shore. For excitement, Coral Bay offers plenty of water sports: you can ride jet skis, try parasailing or windsurfing, and even go diving in the clear waters. After playing in the sea, many visitors grab a bite at a beach bar or restaurant. In fact, the bay’s western-facing position means it’s a great place to enjoy a sunset cocktail before heading in for the evening.
Kafizis Beach
If you want a quieter spot, head west to Kafizis Beach (also known as Maniki) near the Agios Georgios/Pegeia area. Kafizis is a small Blue-Flag beach that feels very secluded and peaceful visitcyprus.com. It has mostly pebbles and some sand, with clean, rather deep water framed by rocky outcrops. There are a few facilities, sunbeds, umbrellas, showers and even a cozy taverna on the beach but no crowds to speak of. Kafizis is “quiet” and has a wild, natural beauty, making it ideal for stretching out on the sand or exploring the rocks. It’s perfect if you simply want to relax in the sun or enjoy a tranquil swim away from the bustle.
Coralia Beach
Coralia Beach (also called Laourou Beach) is a hidden gem tucked just below Coral Bay. It’s famed for its scenic bays of soft golden sand and crystal-clear, shallow waters. The layout of Coralia with several small inlets framed by gentle waves makes it feel very picturesque. Families appreciate that the water stays calm here, so little ones can safely splash near the shore. After a day by the water, Coralia’s beachfront tavernas are an ideal place to enjoy local seafood. In fact, one guide notes that Coralia is “the perfect spot to enjoy … a sunset meal after a day at the beach”. With its peaceful atmosphere and stunning sunset views, Coralia Beach is a beautiful retreat for anyone looking to end the day in style.
