Top 10 Beaches in Cyprus: Your Ultimate Guide to Paradise
If there’s one thing Cyprus does better than serving up halloumi and ancient ruins, it’s beaches. Whether you’re craving turquoise waters, golden sands, or a secluded cove to call your own, this sun-soaked island has it all. At Triton Adventures, we know the value of a good beach—whether it’s for a lazy sunbathe or a thrilling adventure. So, grab your sunscreen and let’s dive (pun intended) into the top 10 beaches in Cyprus that you need to visit.

1. Nissi Beach, Ayia Napa
Think of a postcard-perfect beach, and you’re picturing Nissi Beach. This iconic strip is famous for its powdery sand, crystal-clear water, and lively atmosphere. Whether you’re into water sports or DJ beats, Nissi has something for everyone. Pro tip: Get there early—this place fills up faster than your sunscreen bottle empties in July.

2. Sandy Bay, Ayia Napa (Right Next to Triton Adventures!)
Located just a stone’s throw from Triton Adventures, Sandy Bay is the definition of convenience and relaxation. Smaller and more chilled than Nissi, this little slice of paradise is perfect for families or anyone who prefers a quieter vibe. The shallow waters are ideal for swimming, and it’s a great spot to start your day before heading out on one of our adventures.

3. Fig Tree Bay, Protaras
This slice of paradise gets its name from the fig tree standing guard over its shores. Fig Tree Bay is family-friendly, Instagram-worthy, and perfect for paddleboarding. Plus, it’s a top snorkeling spot. Let’s just say if you’re not underwater marveling at the marine life, you’re doing it wrong.

For beachgoers who like their sun with a side of luxury, Coral Bay is your jam. Picture warm, shallow waters and a serene vibe that screams relaxation. Bonus points for the nearby tavernas serving the freshest seafood you’ll ever taste.

5. Konnos Bay, Ayia Napa/Protaras Border
This secluded gem is hidden within Cape Greco National Park and is perfect for explorers. Kayaking, swimming, or just soaking up the serene vibes—Konnos Bay has it all. Bring your sense of adventure and maybe a drone for those epic aerial shots.

6. Makronissos Beach, Ayia Napa
Want pristine sands without the mega-crowds? Makronissos Beach is your go-to. It’s quieter than Nissi but just as beautiful. Pro tip: Visit the nearby ancient tombs for a mix of history and beach bliss.

7. Governor’s Beach, Limassol
Known for its striking white cliffs and dark sands, Governor’s Beach is a photographer’s dream. It’s also perfect for a picnic. Imagine munching on souvlaki while watching the waves—pure Cypriot magic.

8. Lara Bay, Akamas Peninsula
Calling all nature lovers! Lara Bay isn’t just a beach; it’s a turtle haven. This protected area is where endangered turtles nest. Remember to tread lightly and follow the rules to help keep this paradise safe.

9. Aphrodite’s Rock, Paphos
Legend has it, the goddess Aphrodite rose from these waters. While swimming here won’t turn you into a Greek god or goddess, it will definitely refresh your soul. The scenery is unbeatable, and the mythology is a bonus.
