    Stunning Location
    Visited this beach while staying in the Nissi Bay area and was not disappointed. There are plenty of sunbeds along with a cafe, bar and clean toilets. Does get quite busy and there is always music playing. Maybe not quite as romantic as Makronissos Beach in my opinion but the sand and shallow crystal clear waters are just as good and if in the area you must visit, if nothing else to walk across to Nissi Island. Will certainly be back!

    Quite busy for February
    Lovely beach and luckily there were a couple of spare sunbeds so this oldie didn’t have to lie in the sand! Grandchildren had a great time splashing in the sea, too cold for us sensible grown ups. Very shallow and safe for the littluns. Lots of building work going on and the car park we usually use by the toilets was closed. We parked by the Adams hotel. Much prefer this beach at this time of year rather than October when it was absolutely packed.

    Pristine Waters and Vibrant Atmosphere, but Crowded Beach
    The beach in question offers pristine waters that are refreshingly clean, creating an inviting environment for a swim. However, it is worth noting that the beach tends to be extremely crowded, with sunbeds often reserved from early morning, making it challenging to find a spot for oneself. Despite the crowds, the beach provides a range of facilities suitable for both children and adults. Families can enjoy various amenities and activities, ensuring a fun-filled day for everyone. The presence of good restaurants and bars nearby adds convenience and options for satisfying hunger or quenching thirst. Furthermore, having a shop in close proximity is a definite advantage, making it easy to access necessary supplies or grab beach essentials. The availability of nearby facilities and services contributes to the overall convenience and comfort of visitors. While the crowds can be overwhelming, the beach's clean water, family-friendly amenities, and proximity to restaurants, bars, and a shop make it a solid destination for an enjoyable day at the seaside. Arriving early or choosing less peak times may help mitigate the challenges posed by the crowds, allowing for a more relaxed and pleasant experience.

    A must visit while in Cyprus!
    Visited Nissi beach twice while we were in Cyprus. We were staying in protaras and easily got the bus to right near Nissi beach. Beds were only €2.50 for the day, clean beautiful beach. Even the beach bar to each and drink in was reasonable.

    Great water and party for young people at the beach bar
    Very crowded beach with amazing clean and clear water and white sand. Showers is just on one place and the beach is too long. It’s shame that they are not free and you have tu pay for it. Also in july and august if you want to have un umbrella with sunbeds you should go before 7 o clock at the morning, after that, it’s all full.

    Very popular beach!
    We visited Nissi Beach during our Ayia Napa holiday as a break from the pool. It was a 20 minute walk from our hotel but there are good bus options if not in the mood for walking. It can get very busy there, we arrived around 9.30am and found sunbeds (7.50 Euros for 2 beds and umbrella) to the left of the main beach, which felt nicer than the more crowded parts. The sea was lovely and blue and not very rocky, also quite shallow unless far out. There was a raised, seated snack bar near us which was not too busy and did burgers/hot dogs etc with drinks and smoothies. There is a foam party at the central part of the beach which everyone seemed to enjoy. We tried the jet skis which was fun. In all we stayed until late afternoon before heading back. We all enjoyed it, though it can get very busy. We would probably go again if in Ayia Napa.

    Very busy but beautiful views and nice clear warm sea!
    Visited in august one late afternoon and it was still very busy but we did manage to get 2 Sun loungers and an umbrella (7.50 euro) - if your wanting to spend the day here I would recommend getting here early to get the best spot. There is room however to put your towels down on the sand. The walk over to the island is nice, sea is very clear and warm! A nice change from the cold dirty sea back in the UK. It was RNB afternoon at the Nissi Bay Beach Bar so we enjoyed listening to this while catching some rays - there’s a few other bars / restaurants and shops here too.

    Beautiful!
    This beach is stunning! The views are beautiful. Sea is so clear and couldn’t see any rubbish as mentioned in other posts. Did look out for this after reading what some people said. It was very clean when we went. It is busy but expected due to how beautiful it is. Get there early and there is lots of sun beds. One of the best beaches we have visited.

    Get there early if you want to actually appreciate this beauty……
    What an absolutely wonderful cove. Beautiful sand, blue clear sea and great amenities. However after about 10:00 you can no longer see much of it as it’s covered with towels, inflatables and people. It’s a shame the number of people isn’t limited……

    Crystal clear water
    Wonderful white sand beach with crystal clear water and beach bars. Lovely hot weather but chaos during summer as the beach is not that big. Highly recommended Petra Snack Bar. Self service beachfront bar with fantastic view, attentive staff and reasonably priced. Cheaper than other beach bars tho.

Visited this beach again while staying in the Nissi Bay area. There are plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas available (€2.50 per item for the day) though you need to get here early to get a good spot as it does get very busy. Walking across to Nissi Island is a must. There are also some beach bars (though overpriced), shop and clean toilets. We did find that the Adams Hotel (which is very close by) had its own shop which was very reasonably priced and a much better alternative. There are also rocks to one side which can cause harm (particularly if you have young children). Overall this is a lovely beach which is definitely worth a visit.

The most beautiful beach in Ayia Napa. Big with lots of sunbeds and umbrellas for rent. The water has a beautiful color. The nearest 100m from the shore is waist-high water. Perfect for everyone!

The beach was overcrowded, which was to be expected but the water so not clean, rest of plastic things and cigarettes. You couldn’t swim so far because of the water sports. I had feeling like I was swimming in the swimming pool. Definitely not worth it.
