Paramali Turtle Beach

Vast windswept beach with nesting marine turtles and Cyprus's premier kitesurfing hotspot.

A wild, undeveloped stretch of coastline fringed by fragrant orange orchards. Consistent afternoon thermal winds make it the island's top kitesurfing destination from June through September.

The western sands serve as a strictly protected nesting habitat for endangered green and loggerhead turtles. Zero beach bars, zero jet skis — purely raw Mediterranean nature.

Tips before you go

  • Never disturb the protective wire cages marking turtle nests on the sand.
  • Shingle shelf drops off quickly; watch out for undertow on windy afternoons.
  • Bring all your own supplies including shade and drinking water.

How to get there

Exit the A6 highway at Paramali village, following the rural lane south through fruit orchards to the shore.
