Coral Bay

This beach was a major disappointment. Despite being touted as the best in Paphos, it was nothing more than a vast expanse of sand and water. The only reason it wasn't crowded was because we visited during the winter months. I shudder to think of how packed it must be during the summer season. The water was clear, but that was about the only redeeming quality. The beach itself was unremarkable and lacked any real character or charm. The sand was fine, but not particularly soft, and the slope into the water was gradual and uninteresting. While there were plenty of parking spots and toilets, the little café was nothing to write home about. The views of the sunset were nice, but hardly worth the effort of visiting such a lackluster beach. Overall, I would not recommend this beach to anyone looking for a memorable experience. It's fine for a quick dip or a bit of snorkeling, but there are much better options out there

Hvis du har en forkærlighed for strandudflugter i ferier, så er dette stranden, der vil mætte dine ønsker. Med sin maleriske sandstrand og gennemsigtige vand er det et ideelt sted for snorkelentusiaster. Desuden er der en lille strandbar, der serverer lækker mad og forfriskende drikkevarer. Eventyrlystne sjæle kan også forkæle sig med vandsportsaktiviteter såsom vandcykel- og jetski-ture og endda prøve deres hånd på parasailing. Selvom vi lejede en bil for at nå stranden, kan du benytte den regelmæssige busforbindelse fra Paphos Harbour. Et besøg på denne strand er et must for alle i Paphos-regionen.

This beach, situated just a short 15-minute drive from Paphos, boasts a rather pleasant stretch of sand. The water is a crisp blue and appears to be relatively clean. For those who enjoy partaking in water sports, you'll be pleased to know that they are available here. And if you're in need of a refreshing beverage, there's a bar nearby. However, it's worth noting that the privilege of using the showers will cost you a measly euro. So, if you're feeling particularly grimy, be prepared to fork over some extra cash.

Denne fantastiske strand kan prale af alle de faciliteter, du kan bede om, kun få skridt væk fra sandstranden. Glem ikke at pakke din badedragt, så du kan tage en forfriskende dukkert i det krystalklare vand, før du sætter dig ind for en afslappende læsning eller afslappet solbadning. Og når solen begynder at gå ned, skal du komme til klipperne på venstre side af stranden for en ærefrygtindgydende udsigt over himlen, der brænder med farve. Som en ekstra bonus snuble vi over en isbil på stien - sælgeren var utroligt venlig og talte endda lidt tysk! Isen var ud over lækker og den perfekte godbid til toppen af en dag med strandlyksalighed.

Coral Bay has been a disappointment as there are no visible corals, only a few marine creatures. While the view from the cliffs is undoubtedly stunning, the name "Coral Bay" suggests that there should be more coral formations to explore. To make matters worse, the majority of the public beach is taken up by individuals who charge for sunbeds, leaving little space for those who want to enjoy the beach for free. It's frustrating that even though the beach is technically free, visitors are forced to either pay or squeeze into the small area that isn't occupied by the sunbed vendors.
