Coral Bay Beach

Paphos's best sandy beach set in a sheltered horseshoe bay with gentle stone-free entry.

Unlike much of Paphos's rocky coastline, Coral Bay offers soft golden sand and a shallow seabed protected by limestone headlands.

Tips before you go

  • Bus 615 from Paphos Harbour runs every 15 minutes right to the beach.
  • Walk up the southern headland at golden hour for panoramic sunset views.

How to get there

Bus 615 from Paphos Harbour or drive via Coral Bay Avenue.
