Exploring Cyprus on a Standup Paddle (SUP) board offers an incredible way to experience the island’s stunning coastline and crystal-clear waters and to make nice pictures for your Instagram. Here are the top 10 places to enjoy SUP boarding in Cyprus, each with its own unique charm and beauty:
1. Fig Tree Bay, Protaras

Fig Tree Bay is well known for its pristine, crystal-clear waters and golden sandy beaches. Ideal for both beginners and experienced paddlers, this spot offers a picturesque backdrop with calm seas perfect for a leisurely paddle. One of the main sights of this place – small rocky island in the center of the lagoon you can easily reach both on a paddle board and even without.
2. Konnos Bay, Ayia Napa
Nestled between dramatic cliffs and lush greenery, Konnos Bay provides a serene environment for SUP boarding. The bay’s clear, turquoise waters and secluded nature make it a favorite among locals and tourists alike.
o Additional bonus – just 200 meters from the Konnos Beach, after some rocks you can find the Turtle Beach and swim with real sea turtles.
3. Blue Lagoon, Akamas Peninsula
The Blue Lagoon boasts vibrant turquoise waters that are incredibly clear, making it a top destination for SUP enthusiasts. Paddling here allows you to explore the stunning marine life and enjoy the unspoiled natural beauty of the Akamas Peninsula. The only one flaw of this place – it’s rather far from big cities and from the airports.
4. Lara Bay, Akamas Peninsula
Known as a protected turtle nesting site, Lara Bay combines natural beauty with environmental significance. The calm, crystal-clear waters offer a peaceful and rewarding SUP experience amidst a pristine coastal landscape.
Like number 3 of our list it’s far from big cities and from the airports so first of all it’s good for silence lovers and introverts.
5. Nissi Beach, Ayia Napa

This place is surely not for introverts – even in Winter you will not be alone here. Famous for its lively atmosphere and shallow, clear waters, Nissi Beach is perfect for those looking to combine SUP boarding with a bit of beach fun and beach disco all day (and all night too). The vibrant beach scene provides a unique and energetic paddling experience.
6. Cape Greco, Protaras
Cape Greco is a must-visit for its dramatic sea caves and amazing rock formations. Paddling along the azure waters here, you can explore hidden caves and enjoy the breathtaking views of the rugged coastline.
7. Mackenzie Beach, Larnaca

Mackenzie Beach offers calm, shallow waters that are ideal for beginners. The long stretch of sandy beach, combined with its proximity to local amenities, makes it a convenient and enjoyable spot for SUP boarding. The infrastructure of this beach is possible one of the best in Cyprus so you cannot only enjoy paddling but also you will find a lot of places to eat in or just to relax. By the way, there are some nice restaurants with playgrounds in shadow.
Bonus of this place – it’s near the airport so you can swim just under landing planes.
8. Coral Bay, Paphos
Coral Bay features a stunning combination of golden sands and clear waters, perfect for a day of SUP adventure. The bay’s gentle waves and scenic surroundings create an inviting atmosphere for paddlers of all levels.
9. Governor’s Beach, Limassol

Known for its unique white cliffs and crystal-clear sea, Governor’s Beach offers a visually striking SUP experience. The contrast between the white rocks and blue waters makes for an unforgettable paddling adventure. The only problem is lack of place on the coastline because of the rocks.
10. Latchi Beach, Polis
Latchi Beach is characterized by its calm waters and picturesque landscapes. The tranquil setting, coupled with the charming village of Polis nearby, provides a relaxing and scenic environment for SUP boarding.
11. Malama Beach, Paralimni
Maybe this place is not as beautiful as previous 10 but it has its own specialty – it’s just 300 meters from the “grey zone” that divides Cyprus into two parts – Cyprus proper and the so-called Northern Cyprus – the northern part of the island occupied by Turkey. From this beach you can see Varosha – a ghost town, a once magnificent city with world-class infrastructure and 5-star hotels from all the world’s chains, which overnight turned into an extinct wasteland. The spectacle is sad, but exciting.
These locations not only provide breathtaking views but also offer ideal conditions for an unforgettable SUP boarding adventure in Cyprus. Enjoy exploring these beautiful spots and make the most of your paddleboarding experience!
