We visited this beach in the afternoon and did some swimming and snorkelling. What a lovely picturesque beach, we found sunbeds easily enough, lots of availability. We bought some sandwiches and drinks, very fresh and tasty. One criticism, we didn't think the music needed to be quite so LOUD. We were there to relax and I was a little annoyed the volume kept increasing. It appeared to be at only one part of the beach, so head for quieter spots if you want a snooze, and to listen to the waves.

Great beach with crystal clear and warm water and golden sand. There are snack/drink bars and toilets either end of the beach and various water sport activities in the middle. Corallia beach is just 5 mins up the road, and would recommend that one even more,

Well, just a regular sandy beach with 2 support bars who served cold & hot drinks and food. If you wish a sunbed it costs €2 each and an umbrella €2.50, you can also take a bus from Paphos Tombs of the kings to Coral bay, it takes about 40 min and it costs €2 each way. Overall not bad

Pleasantly surprised as seen some reviews which were less than ‘good’. Sunbeds and umbrellas in abundance. We set up on the far side away from the crowded bit by the cafes and watersports. No seaweed in sight at this end, sea was so clear and lovely and warm. Cafe was good cor cool drinks and snacks. Parking easy. Nice day out!

My wife and I visited Coral Bay beach recently, it’s only a ten minute walk past the strip. Two sun beds and an umbrella for 7:5 € we thought was reasonable. The water was clean with some seaweed, but walk further up the beach and there was none.There are also water sports available, also a cafe and toilets. Would visit again

This review is about Laourou Beach, which is the second of the Coral Bay beaches you come to when heading out of Paphos and is situated next to the bus terminus and the Corallia Beach Hotel. My family and I have been to both beaches and prefer this one because it seems a little quieter, although still busy, and we enjoyed the swimming more there. Most people travel to the beach by bus or taxi. For convenience, groups may prefer the taxi, although it will set you back €25-€35 each way, depending on which beach you go to and whereabouts in Paphos you travel from. Please note that, in summer, the taxi company may ask you to phone them 30 minutes to an hour before you would like picking up on your return journey. The buses are frequent but allow for lots of stops and most tourists will need to change buses at Tombs of the Kings station. The Coral Bay beaches are popular in the Paphos area because they are sandy, whereas most other beaches are pebbly or rocky. The water is also calmer, which is particularly important for those with children. On arrival at Laourou Beach, you’ll probably want a sunbed. There are plenty of these before around 11am, but it does get busier. You will be approached to pay for the sunbeds, which, as others have said, are €7.50 for two (including an umbrella). I don’t think this is bad, because they are then yours for the day if you want them. There are a few rocks around the beach, but they aren’t problematic and do attract fish. In addition, there is a small ‘island’ of rocks (see photo), which I think may have been put there as a breakwater, although the rocks are natural in appearance. These are very interesting for snorkelers as they attract a variety of fish. Most of this stretch of water is shallow enough for an adult to stand in, but there is a brief part where you cannot. The water is also choppier on the far side of the ‘island’, which backs up my breakwater theory! There is a restaurant beside the beach and the staff will ask you if you want a ‘lite bite’ or a full meal. The ‘lite bite’ menu is limited but we enjoyed it because we were happy with burgers and chips for lunch. Service is friendly and quick and the food, although simple, was tasty and inexpensive. There is also a shop which sells chilled bottled water, soft drinks and beer. This was very useful for when your own drinks have lost their chill. I think it also sells snacks and beach toys, but don’t quote me on that! The toilets, showers and changing area are together in the same block as you leave the beach. A tip is to make sure you wash the sand off you and dry off before going for a bus or taxi as you may not be allowed to travel if you’re covered!

Traveled from Kato Paphos shingle beaches to this beautiful beach, just 25 mins down (up?) the coast. The beach is accessible either down a slope or steps. Plenty of parking if you drive (we had a taxi). Café/kiosk serving snacks/drinks/ice creams each end of the beach and watersports area too. We hired a pedalo, €35 for 1hr. The beach is lovely, the water is warm and quite shallow. The sand is red hot so beware!! We hired beds, 2 beds & parasol €7.50, cash only. It’s well worth a visit!

Coral bay is an extremely busy beach and is very wide and large. It has a little coffee shop on top of the hill and service there is on point and the whole beach has plenty of sun beds and parasols charged at €2.50 per item. However it can be a little bit difficult to get to the water as the sand is excruciatingly hot until you hit the water. You are able to do water sports as well like jet skis and the magic carpet all ranging from €20-60Overall the beach is pretty affordable though and the water is very pretty and glistens in the sun.

We took the bus to Coral Bay and was pleasantly surprised by how many restaurants & bars were on the strip before reaching the beach. The beach was clean and there was plenty of space for those not wanting to rent a sun lounger or parasol (we took our own beach mats). There's a bar at each end so I'd suggest taking your own snacks, a couple of changing cubicles but the toilets were awful! Plenty of parking and water sports activities available.
