Nissi Beach is one of Cyprus's most iconic stretches of sand, located just west of Ayia Napa. Its fine white sand and crystal-clear, shallow waters make it a favorite for families and sunbathers. The beach is divided by a small rocky islet that can be waded to at low tide. Water sports abound, including jet skiing, parasailing, and paddleboarding. The beach bars, especially Nissi Beach Bar, pump music and host parties, giving the area a vibrant, social atmosphere. Despite its popularity, the beach remains well-maintained and offers sunbeds and umbrellas for rent.
Don't miss
- Wade out to the small islet at low tide for a unique perspective.
- Try jet skiing or parasailing from the water sports center.
- Enjoy a cocktail at the iconic Nissi Beach Bar while listening to live DJ sets.
