Beaches in Ayia Napa
Here you will find many of the island’s most beautiful beaches and some of its most stunning coastline. Calm and crystal clear turquoise waters with powder-soft white sand beaches. It is by no surprise that the beaches can get very crowded during the summer period. A lot of the beaches are easily accessed on foot or bicycle but we recommend you to hire a bike or a car and drive to explore the numerous small, gorgeous and secluded beaches along the coastline. Renting a boat is also a fantastic idea to visit the beaches by the sea.
Nissi Beach the most famous of them all. In the height of the summer you need to get there early to reserve your patch. About 4 km from the central square. BBC Radio One has staged its beach parties here.
Grecian Bay Also known as Harbour Beach or Limanaki, or Pantachou Beach it is the closest sandy beach to the centre of Agia Napa. This is a beautiful beach that stretches along three coves to the east of the small fishing harbour. Not so fashionable as the two above, but just as nice a beach.
Sandy Bay (or Vathkia Gonia) a sheltered beach nestled between two headlands, It is popular with families and is more low key and quieter than its busy neighbor (Nissi)
Makronissos Beach Just as nice (if not nicer) as Nissi Beach, a bit further away. At times less busy and more family orientated.
Konnos Bay This is truly one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe and is very popular with locals and tourists alike, due to it being surrounded by mountains and having crystal clear waters. It is in the Cape Greko area and half of it is in Ayia Napa territory, while the other half belongs to Protaras.
