Coral Bay is the main family beach north of Paphos: a sheltered sandy crescent with sunbeds, lifeguards in season and food a short walk away.
North of it the coastline changes character completely. The Sea Caves area is a low limestone shelf carved into arches and blowholes, with the Edro III shipwreck grounded just offshore.
Why visit
- • The most family-friendly sand near Paphos
- • Dramatic rock formations a few minutes' drive away
- • The Edro III shipwreck photo stop
- • Sunset views along the whole shelf
Things to do here
- Swim at Coral Bay
- Walk the Sea Caves shelf
- Photograph the Edro III at sunset
Best time to visit
Coral Bay works all summer. The Sea Caves are best at sunset.
Getting there
Drive or take the bus north through Peyia to Coral Bay, then continue on the coast road towards Agios Georgios for the caves.
Local tips
- • The rock edges near the caves are unfenced — keep children close
