Pernera to Protaras Coastal Boardwalk

Scenic paved and wooden seaside walkway stretching over 4 km between Pernera and Fig Tree Bay.

The coastal boardwalk is a beautifully designed pedestrian path linking Pernera to the heart of Protaras. It meanders right along the water's edge past hidden coves, golden sands, and waterfront cafes.

Gentle illumination at night makes it a fantastic setting for evening strolls with the sound of breaking waves.

Tips before you go

  • Flat, wide, and fully accessible for strollers and wheelchairs.
  • Numerous swim spots and beach showers along the path.
  • Great route for catching the Mediterranean sunrise over the sea.

How to get there

Start anywhere between Kalamies Beach in Pernera and Fig Tree Bay in Protaras.
