Coral Bay
Kato Paphos has its own beaches but many visitors and residents prefer to head for Coral Bay and its 2km stretch of sand. (Near the shoreline you can sometimes see deposits of what looks like salmon-pink sand but is actually fine coral - hence the name!). The bay has all the amenities that you would expect from such a popular beach, including beach beds and umbrellas, a couple of cafes and all the usual water sports. Swimming is particularly pleasant here and the sea remains warm into early December.

Corallia
Located 1km further along the main road from Coral Bay is Corallia (the local Paphos buses 10 and 15 terminate here). The long stretch of its sandy beach curves round two bays and there are a couple of small islands in the first bay which form a natural wind break. Quieter than Coral Bay, the area has just a few shops and restaurants and is very peaceful.
