Coral Bay in Southern Cyprus is a great family resort just 8 miles from Paphos. With a beautiful beach, Coral Bay is particularly popular with those seeking a relaxing beach holiday. The rugged coastline here provides plenty of coves to be explored and enjoyed.
Coral Bay has plenty of hotels, villas, traditional restaurants, bars, cafes and shops. The nightlife here is mainly family orientated with the more adult nightlife on offer in nearby Paphos which is just a short taxi ride away. There is also a lovely harbour and ancient relics to be seen in Paphos.
The main reason families come to Coral Bay is for its long, sandy stretch of beach which is found between two headlands. The magnificent blue shallow water here is ideal for children, allowing the adults some relaxing time on the beach soaking up the sunshine. Watersports including diving, windsurfing, jet skiing, waterskiing and banana boat rides are available here at the beach. Coral Bay Beach is a European Blue Flag Beach.
