Coral Bay
A crescent of golden sand between two headlands near Peyia, with calm, shallow water. A favourite family beach on the Paphos coast.

Coral Bay is one of the few long sandy beaches in Paphos district. The headlands shelter the bay, so the water is usually calm, and the gentle slope suits young swimmers. The beach is organised with lifeguards, sunbeds and water sports in season.
On the northern headland lies the excavated Bronze Age settlement of Maa-Palaiokastro, a quiet extra stop for history fans.
Good to know
It gets busy on summer weekends. Arrive early for a good spot, or come in late afternoon for softer light.
