Lighthouse Beach (Paphos)
Παραλία Φάρου
A city beach at the foot of a lighthouse beside the archaeological park. The water is clear, and you can swim and then walk over to the ruins. It has a lovely atmosphere at sunset.
Lighthouse Beach lies on the northwest side of the Kato Paphos Archaeological Park, with the white Paphos Lighthouse built in 1888 behind it. It is one of the best sandy public beaches in the city centre. It is small, with sunbed rental, lifeguards and a beach bar. The water is clean and good for swimming and snorkelling among small fish. It is a 15-minute walk from the harbour along the seafront promenade, and you can combine it with the archaeological park or the Tombs of the Kings. Watch the sunset from the sand in the evening. Some areas have rocks, so wear water shoes when entering the sea.
