Resting with children requires not only safety but also enhanced comfort. Not all beaches in Paphos can provide this level of comfort for families with little ones, but there are enough places where you can have an unforgettable time. We will tell you about each one in detail in our article.
Pachyammos Beach
Pachyammos is located in the southern part of Paphos, which can be reached by car, bus, or on foot along Poseidonos promenade. This beach is advantageous because it is close to the city center and all tourist infrastructure. Nearby, there are excellent family hotels where you can stay with young children or teenagers.
One of the major advantages over other city beaches is the soft sandy surface, which makes it easy and pleasant to enter the sea. Both children and their parents will appreciate it since the sand allows them to run and play freely without the fear of getting their feet hurt by pebbles. You can build sandcastles or dig channels, as children often love to do.
The water in the sea is clean and transparent, and the beach is awarded the Blue Flag, which guarantees safety in every sense. Lifeguards are always on duty here, and the chances of encountering high waves are very low. In other words, you can swim at Pachyammos even during the off-season.
There is a water sports equipment rental point called San Antonio Watersports on the beach. Additionally, all the necessary amenities for a beach vacation are available, including umbrella and sunbed rentals, cafes, and snack bars within walking distance.
Geroskipou Beach
Geroskipou is a large and developed suburb of Paphos that is loved by families with children. Indeed, there are interesting attractions here, such as a Luna Park and the Paphos Aphrodite Waterpark, as well as numerous playgrounds and hotels ready to accommodate families with little ones.
The beach itself is equally impressive. It features children's playgrounds and green areas where you can find shade even on hot days. For the youngest visitors, there is a designated shallow area in the sea, ensuring maximum safety.
The beach is spacious, stretching 350 meters, and even during the summer season, it is not overcrowded. The sand and pebble mixture on the beach provides a comfortable surface, and the entry into the water is very gradual. The local authorities have built breakwaters, so waves are almost nonexistent on the beach. This allows even the littlest children to enjoy a calm swim.
Geroskipou Beach has everything you need for a comfortable vacation, including beach equipment rentals, changing cabins, showers, and toilets. There are also water sports activities available. Additionally, there are volleyball, tennis, and football courts. So, even with teenagers, you can have a great time here.
Getting to Geroskipou is easy. There are several bus stops nearby, and taxis can easily reach the area. You can also rent a car as there is a parking lot conveniently located near the beach.
Vrysoudia Beach
One of the city beaches of Paphos, located in close proximity to the historical (or rather, ancient) city center and the harbor. It stretches for 300 meters, although the central part of the beach is most suitable for swimming with young children as it has very few stones. There is also a children's playground in this area, and a convenient parking lot is located nearby for those who have arrived by rental or private car.
Vrysoudia Beach has a sandy surface, and the entry into the water is quite gradual. Families with children will find it comfortable as the beach is equipped with all necessary facilities, from showers and toilets to changing cabins. Along the nearby promenade, there is a line of benches, shops, cafes, and restaurants. You can always stop by Vrysoudia Beach casually while strolling along the promenade.
You can also come here intentionally, especially if you have a special love for water sports and activities. It is worth noting that Vrysoudia Beach has been awarded the Blue Flag, which means it is very clean and safe.
Coral Bay Beach
Coral Bay Bay (where the beach of the same name is located) is situated 12 km from Paphos and just a couple of kilometers from Peyia. It is a very pleasant place for relaxation, although it can get crowded during the season. This is not surprising, as Coral Bay is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Paphos and all of Cyprus.
The coastline of the bay stretches for about a kilometer, with the beach occupying 500 meters. The most suitable area for families with children is the central part, which is well-covered with sand and has a convenient gentle entry into the water. It is advisable to arrive at the beach early to secure a spot.
In addition to beach facilities and nearby dining establishments, Coral Bay offers a diving center and water activities. You can reach here by public transport or car, or another option is to stay in a hotel nearby. Alternatively, you can choose to stay in Peyia, a quiet town with all the necessary infrastructure for a relaxing vacation.
Corallia Beach
This small but cozy sandy beach belongs to the hotel of the same name, located in Peyia. Here, you'll find fine golden sand and clear water, creating a very comfortable atmosphere. The breakwaters ensure almost no waves, making it ideal for those who have come here to relax with young children.
In addition to the classic beach activities, you can also engage in sports as there are equipped sports areas available. Nearby, you'll find the less comfortable but more spacious Laourou Beach, and if you drive a bit further, you can reach Coral Bay Beach.
IMPORTANT! Do not let children under 12 years old swim unattended. Always accompany your child while swimming, even if they know how to swim. Use inflatable safety devices and do not rely solely on lifeguards.
Latsi Beach
This large sandy beach is located in the Polis Chrysochous Bay, in the northern part of the Paphos district. Since Polis is quite far from Paphos, even during the peak season, it is not crowded here. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere, cozy coastline, and sandy seabed are perfect for family vacations.
Latsi Beach is equipped with a children's playground, hygiene and changing cabins, as well as toilets and rental points for umbrellas and sunbeds. Along the shore, you'll find taverns where you can taste delicious fresh fish (Latsi is a fishing village). By the way, you can also go fishing on your own.
For those who love active leisure, there are water sports and entertainment centers, as well as a diving center. In short, no member of the family will be bored here. The easiest way to stay is in one of the local hotels or rent accommodation through our website.
