The island of Cyprus attracts beachgoers from all over the world with opportunities to relax in the mild Mediterranean climate, swim in and sunbathe on the sand or warmed up small pebbles. Therefore, the tourist flow to this wonderful island is growing from year to year. But where are the best beaches in Cyprus? It is difficult to answer this question unambiguously. It all depends on what meaning you put in the concept of "the best beach."
It is clear that the sea must be clean. But almost the entire coast of the island is studded with "blue flags" - signs that guarantee excellent water quality and recreational areas. In addition, the local water area is not found and delivering so much inconvenience to tourists in exotic countries. All the best beaches in Cyprus are municipal, which means that admission to them is free for everyone, even if there is a five-star hotel on the shore.

This is, so to speak, the basis. Next is a matter of taste. Someone likes waves and fresh wind for surfing, someone likes a smooth entry into the sea for kids to splash. Which is better: sand or pebbles is a topic of endless debate among beachgoers, but in Larnaca, both debating camps will be satisfied. In this resort you can find both areas with golden gray sand, and areas with pebbles. Many travelers with young children believe that the best beaches in Cyprus are located in Larnaca, since the bottom here goes down very smoothly. And in these places there are areas with black volcanic sand. By the way, there are relatively few tourists in this resort, which allows us to call it a "romantic coast".

True, the sand in the recreation area is yellowish-gray. What if you can't stand pebbles in any form? Then the best sandy beaches of Cyprus for you are in Protaras and Ayia Napa. This is recognized by almost everyone. White as alpine snow, soft as a feather bed, without stones, the local sand gives the sea water a bluish tint. True, Ayia Napa is a favorite place for young people. The coast is crowded and noisy, and in the evenings life is in full swing here - not quite a suitable place to relax with small children.
For pebble lovers, the best beaches in Cyprus include Paphos. Even those who want to jump into the water from the rocks can find suitable places for themselves there. But there is also sand - in the village of Latchi located near the city. At least, divers speak of Paphos only in enthusiastic tones. And surfers choose in this region Lovers of all kinds of entertainment will find a lot of interesting things in the recreation area of Geraskipu, which is four kilometers from the city. But for those who are looking for solitude, we can advise Lara Bay - there are few tourists there, but you can watch how green turtles are grown.
What are the best beaches of Cyprus in the northern part of the island, which is given time considered to be Turkish-occupied territory? And it has its own gems. Famagusta surprises with its white sand. But the resort of Kyrenia is suitable for everyone. In the city itself there are all the opportunities for diving.

- Konnos Bay - well suited for lovers of diving and scuba diving. The coast is quite steep, while the descent to the sea is long, which is why other categories of tourists will not be entirely comfortable here.
- Luma - located in a bay that protects it from the wind. Golden sand, growing palm trees, clear grounds and shallow waters form a good basis for attracting family tourists.
- Sunrise is a calm and quiet place where there are quite a few people. Free admission. Tourists who have settled in hotels nearby can easily organize good leisure time for children here.
- Flamingo - a beach with fine sand, right to the water's edge of which there are green slopes completely covered with grass. There are many ways to arrange yourself leisure. It offers paragliders, boats, jet skis, tennis courts. On the waterfront there are small shops where you can buy souvenirs. The place is quite crowded, so keep this fact in mind.
We also mention the Palases beach, located on Cape Greco. Here the coast is rocky and at the same time one of the most picturesque in Cyprus. Excursions periodically arrive here, it is possible to arrange a boat trip. The beach is wild, which means that there are no lifeguards, however, some tourists practice jumping into the water from the cliff.
Limassol
The sand in Limassol is dark, volcanic, containing impurities that have a beneficial effect on human skin. There are few beaches in the city. The most interesting of them:
- The turtle beach of Parmalini is quite wide and covered with fine volcanic sand mixed with pebbles. There are no cafes or restaurants nearby, which makes this place one of the best for a relaxing holiday.
- Akti-Olympion is a two-kilometer-long beach, considered the most convenient for relaxation. Located within the city limits.
- Amathusa is a small sandy bay surrounded by rocks. The entrance to the sea is gentle, and there are cafes and shops nearby. Also nearby are the ruins of the ancient city of Amathus.
In addition, we will mention the Governor's Beach, which is one of the most picturesque places on the island.
Conclusion
Find nice beach Cyprus is easy. Most of them have the necessary infrastructure, cafes, restaurants and amusement parks. The basis of tourism on the island rotates here. The resorts of Cyprus with sandy beaches are known to vacationers all over the world. Luxury hotels are often located near the coast and have private beach, which everyone can visit, they just, unlike hotel guests, will have to pay for renting sunbeds.
There are many great beaches in Cyprus. It is not surprising, therefore, that most of the tourists come here just for them - beautiful beaches. The swimming season in Cyprus sometimes lasts for six months, and in August-September the water in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of the island warms up to 27-28 degrees. Almost all the beaches that will be discussed below are marked with the Blue Flag, which indicates their cleanliness and excellent ecology.
So, what is important to know about the beaches of Cyprus? First, everything local beaches- municipal and free. Almost everywhere on the beach you can rent sun loungers and sun umbrellas, but at the same time you can absolutely calmly (and for free!) Come to the beach with your own bedding and umbrella.
Secondly, all the beaches of Cyprus are very different, and before you book a hotel, check whether the nearest beach is right for you: on the coast of Cyprus there are secluded and calm beaches, and there are those where music rumbles from morning until late at night, and the parties are interrupted literally for a few dawn hours.
It is believed that the best beaches in Cyprus are in the resorts of Protaras and Ayia Napa, however, everyone has different tastes and preferences, and it is better to find out in advance about all the available alternatives.
Ayia Napa– a resort with a stormy nightlife: parties and clubs there - literally at every step. Parties on Nissi Beach start almost in the morning. However, the resort is very well planned, so that all the clubs are located in the depths, and the beaches are on the coast. Therefore, even with children it will also be very comfortable to relax here (just don't miss the choice of the beach!)
Protaras ideal for those who are looking for a relaxing family holiday (and, perhaps, it will be boring for lovers of active holidays).
Larnaca- the most budgetary and quiet resort throughout Cyprus, there are wide beaches and a convenient gentle entry into the water. There is one minus - perhaps someone will not like the planes coming in for landing and taking off literally overhead. The sea in Larnaca is warmer than in Ayia Napa and Protaras (sometimes the water in August can warm up to 28 degrees, which, it seems, is still “too much”: it’s already difficult to cool off in the heat in water of this temperature). The sand in Larnaca and Limassol has a gray tint, which makes the sea no longer seem as turquoise as in Ayia Napa and Protaras.
Limassol- the largest of the resorts of Cyprus. There are plenty of restaurants, clubs and other entertainment, luxury hotels, but here the coast is not so picturesque. Paphos beaches- mostly stony. Not at all suitable for families with children. But it is able to please divers and, in addition, in Paphos - the most luxurious sea sunsets on the island.
Ayia Napa beaches
Nissi beach(Nissi Beach) in Ayia Napa
This white sand beach near Ayia Napa is probably the most famous in all of Cyprus. In terms of importance for the entire eastern part of Cyprus, this attraction can be compared with Copacabana for Rio de Janeiro. The “highlight” of this beach is a small picturesque island in the sea, which can be reached along a sandy spit. Nissi Beach has many hotels, excellent infrastructure and relaxed atmosphere. True, at times the music rushing from the speakers can seem unnecessarily intrusive.
At the same time, the beach infrastructure and the range of entertainment on the beach are beyond praise!
BeachGreek Bay(Greek Bay) in Ayia Napa
It is located almost in the very center of Ayia Napa, next to the 5-star hotel of the same name and next to the port. Thanks to the fine golden sand, this beach has gained fame as a favorite place for families with children. Here you will not find such revelry and fun as on NissiBeach, but by no means everyone goes to Cyprus for round-the-clock parties and new acquaintances.
The beach is well equipped. Rest here, mainly, guests of first-class hotels located along the beach.
Kermia beach(Kermia Beach) in Ayia Napa
The beach is located three kilometers from Ayia Napa, in fact, between Ayia Napa and Protaras, on the west coast of Cape Greco. It is small, sandy and very uncrowded, calm. From Ayia Napa to the beach, you can even walk along the footpath leading from the port along the coast. If you come here by car from Ayia Napa, the beach is located to the right of the highway. And between the highway and the beach there are numerous bungalows of the Kermia Beach Bungalow Hotel.
Makronissos Beach (Makronissos Beach) in Ayia Napa
Spacious (as much as 500 meters in length), one of the most peaceful, comfortable, and at the same time clean and beautiful beaches in Ayia Napa. "Wonders?" - you ask. Pure truth! This state of affairs is explained by the fact that the beach 
is located at a distance of about 5 km from the center of Ayia Napa, and the parking near the beach is very small, and in the season it is filled to capacity from the very morning. So we recommend coming here (unless, of course, you are guests of the nearby Dome Beach and Asterias Beach hotels) early in the morning.
There are no noisy beach disco parties here, but there is a good bar, and those who wish can play volleyball and go in for water sports. There is even a Diving center on the beach, not to mention the usual beach infrastructure - sunbeds, umbrellas, changing cabins, showers, etc.
Fine sand and a gently deepening bottom make this beach a suitable place for families with children.
Beaches of Protaras
Fig tree Bay(Fig Tree Bay) in Protaras
Dream Beach in Protaras - in 2011, according to Tripadvisor, the beach entered the TOP-3 of the best beaches in Europe and still rightfully bears the proud title of the best beach in Cyprus. A wonderful, almost white, sandy beach with clear water stretches along the coast for 500 meters. It is well equipped: showers and toilets, cafes and restaurants, sun loungers and umbrellas for rent, ample parking. If you decide to come here, keep in mind that the beach is very popular, and by noon all the sunbeds and umbrellas will be occupied. So I advise you to come early.
Konnos Bay(Konnos Bay Beach) in Protaras
A small beach (200 x 40 m) with golden sand, located in a cozy bay 2 km southeast of Protaras (ie, between Protaras and Ayia Napa).
Due to the fact that the beach is located near a rocky hill, the descent into the water here is quite steep, and the coast is rocky in places. Therefore, the beach is not suitable for vacationers with small children. But it is an ideal place for lovers of diving and snorkeling, as well as cliff jumping. High waves here are very rare, because the bay is protected from the wind from two sides.
Even at the height of the season you will not meet a large and noisy crowd of tourists here.
On the beach there is a rental point for umbrellas and sun loungers (the sun loungers here resemble, rather, plastic "troughs" in which you can not only sunbathe on the beach, but also swim on the water), a lifeguard tower, beach activities (quite traditional: boat trips and water sports). Parking is located on a hill, about 100 meters from the beach. Nearby are cafes and restaurants, and several hotels.
The extreme points of the beach are more secluded, where you can feel complete unity with nature, peace and tranquility. From the beach, a narrow and winding path leads to picturesque caves, where in ancient times, according to legend, Cyclopes lived here - one-eyed monsters.
Also nearby is one of the most popular dive spots in Cyprus - ConnosPoint - I recommend it!
Louma Beach (Luma Beach) in Protaras
The beach with rich golden sand (hence its second name - Golden Coast) is located in the central part of the Protaras resort, near the Golden Coast Hotel. The bay is protected from the wind on both sides, the entrance to the water is very comfortable, so the beach is recommended for families with children.
The entire beach infrastructure is available here - rental of sunbeds and umbrellas, showers, toilets, cafes. Part of the beach is located in the shade of fig trees.
Sunrise beach(Sunrise Beach) in Protaras
All beaches of Protaras are equally good for families, including families with children, but the sandy Sunrise Beach is considered one of the most luxurious and well-equipped. This is not surprising - after all, the beach is located near the eponymous complex of 4-5-star hotels "Sunrise Beach". In fact, this beach is a continuation of Fig Tree Bay beach (Fig Tree Bay), and then goes to another beach. As a result, in Protaras, a long strip of beaches stretches along the entire coast, for many kilometers.
Slightly above the Sunrise Beach line, there is a promenade with an abundance of shops and souvenir shops, taverns and beach bars. There is also a large supermarket here.
The infrastructure is well developed on the beach: rental of umbrellas and sun loungers, showers and toilets, a playground, a rescue tower, playgrounds for sports games. Also, guests of the beach have access to such entertainment as diving, boat trips and yachts, an abundance of traditional water attractions and entertainment.
The beach and the bottom of the sea in this area are fine sandy, and the entrance to the water is gentle.
Flamingo beach(Flamingo Beach) in Protaras
The beaches of Protaras are just perfect for families. Central beach of this resort, Flamingo Beach - with the most developed infrastructure and plenty of entertainment. Swimming here will be comfortable even for the smallest, because the descent into the sea is gentle, and the water near the shore warms up perfectly. The beach is amazingly clean and the seabed is sandy, so there is no need to purchase special beach shoes, as for pebble beaches.
For many who have been here, Flamingo Beach resembles the coast in Jurmala, but it is even more beautiful here. Picturesque green slopes overgrown with grass descend to the water itself, and here you can hide from the sun not only under umbrellas, but also in the shade of trees. Umbrellas and deck chairs and parasols can be rented here. The beach has showers, toilets, changing rooms. This beach is especially recommended for families, and is very popular not only among tourists, but also among local residents.
Larnaca beaches
Faros beach(Pharos Beach) in Larnaca
This wonderful beach with a grayish "mix" of sand and sandstone is protected from the waves by a breakwater that rises almost close to the shore and forms an ideal swimming pool for kids.
The beach is located in the town of Pervolia, in the outskirts of Larnaca, on the picturesque Kiti Peninsula. There is enough space for everyone: even at the peak of the season, the beach is not overcrowded with vacationers.
Keep in mind that there are two beaches with this name in Cyprus. (The second one is in Paphos). The word "pharos" is translated as "lighthouse". Indeed, on the western side of the Kiti peninsula, there is a functioning lighthouse. So you can go to this beach not only for romantic photos, but also to get to know such an important phenomenon for everyone who dreams of the sea as a lighthouse.
Like all others listed in this article, Faros Beach is the owner of the Blue Flag for cleanliness and environmental friendliness. The infrastructure of the beach corresponds: the beach is equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, rescue towers, there is a volleyball court, you can rent sports equipment.
The address: Faros Beach, Kiti Peninsula, Larnaca.
MacKenzie beach(Mackenzie Beach) in Larnaca
The main feature of Mackenzie Beach is the runway of Larnaca Airport located just 100 meters from it. It is unlikely that anyone would want to come here every day, but to visit it, in order, as an exotic, once to enjoy the view of planes landing right above you, if you have not seen it yet, it is definitely worth it!
The beach itself is long and beautiful, there is no hustle and bustle here. The entrance to the water is gentle, and the sea is clean. Mackenzie, like most other beaches in Cyprus, is awarded the Blue Flag and is well equipped: sun loungers and umbrellas, showers, toilets, changing cabins and a variety of water attractions.
Limassol beaches
Ladies Mile(Lady's Mile)
Definitely the best beach in Limassol (located west of the city on the Akrotiri peninsula) and the largest beach in all of Cyprus. It's worth the drive from the city center. Pure water, warm sea, showers, toilets, sun loungers and umbrellas for rent, children's water attractions, a lot of cozy cafes and restaurants with affordable prices.
Near the beach there is a British military base, to which the beach owes its romantic name: it was named after a horse named Lady, which belonged to the commander of the base. Limassol salt lake is also located nearby.
Governors Beach (Governors Beach, or Governor's Beach) in Limassol
This incredible beauty the beach is located 20 km east of Limassol and 40 km southwest of Larnaca. Here you will find almost alien landscape of miniature black sand beaches, separated from each other by white sandstone cliffs. The only thing that slightly spoils the view here is the buildings of the military base starting almost beyond the territory of the beach.
The beach got its name in honor of the British governor of the island, who spent several hours a day relaxing on this picturesque beach(Oh, and the work of a friend was not dusty!)
Kourion Beach(Kourion Beach)
The picturesque beach of Kourion, about 1 km long, near the village of Episkopi, is the Cypriot "mecca" of all kite and wind surfers. For mere mortals, this is just a well-equipped beach with clear water, framed by picturesque high white cliffs. There are sun loungers and sun umbrellas, changing cabins, toilets, showers. Lifeguards are on duty throughout the bathing season.
Nearby is a luxurious amphitheater and the whole archaeological complex of Kourion, with perfectly preserved mosaics. 
The beaches of Polis
Latchi Beachin Polis
Once Latchi was a small fishing village, but today it is a great place for beach holiday. The beach is perhaps not as photogenic as famous beaches Protaras and Ayia Napa (because Latchi is a small-pebble beach of a dirty gray color), but Latchi is an ideal place for everyone who is tired of the hustle and bustle and does not find the desired rest on crowded popular resorts. Here you can spend time calmly and alone, be alone with nature (the sea here is the cleanest, magnificent turquoise color!) and your own thoughts.
The beach is well equipped: there are showers, toilets, platforms for easy entry into the water, a path for people with handicapped, rental of sunbeds and umbrellas.
Latchi is located on the picturesque Akamas peninsula, not far from the city of Polis.
The coastline of Latchi stretches for 1.5 km and smoothly (almost imperceptibly!) Turns into Polis beach. The beach strip is wide - 30-50 m. The parking lot is separated from the beach by green vegetation. Breakwaters protrude from the coast at 50 m into the sea, thanks to which there are no strong waves and undercurrents. In addition, you can sunbathe on the breakwaters, enjoying complete privacy.
The descent into the water is smooth - this is a big plus if you are relaxing with children. The depth starts at a distance of about 7 m from the shore. The water here is always well warmed up, especially during the season.
Paphos beaches
Coral— Bay(Coral Bay Beach) in Paphos
The crystal blue Coral Bay in Paphos is not strictly located in the city itself, but thanks to a well-organized bus service and a large parking lot, it is convenient to get here.
The best beach around Paphos.
By the way, the yellow sand, thanks to which Coral Bay is so popular with tourists and locals, is brought here from other beaches in Cyprus. In about 20 years, the sand on the beach is completely renewed (since the sea is gradually washing it away from here).
Petra tou Romiou in Paphos
This bay in the suburbs of Paphos is one of the most beautiful and famous places Cyprus. It was here, according to legend, that Aphrodite emerged from the foam of the sea, and here since then she has been lying in the water picturesque rock- Stone of Aphrodite.
The beach here is pebbly, but thanks to this, the water is azure blue and very clean. The sea is not safe here, so jumping from the rocks is not recommended, but swimming three times around the "stone of Aphrodite" is recommended for everyone: women - for eternal beauty and youth, men - for inexhaustible strength, and lovers - for eternal love.
Lara beach (Lara beach)
Lara is the most "turtle" beach in Cyprus. This rocky beach located north of Paphos, in an area that can only be reached by a four-wheel drive SUV. It’s probably not worth going here just for the sake of swimming, but wildlife lovers can find a lot of interesting things here in the corresponding season: this truly reserved corner of the Mediterranean is full of turtle nests, and rare white-bellied seals hide from prying eyes in its coastal caves.
