Venus Beach Has Come Of Age
Published 29th of June, 2026
Venus Beach
Now let's turn our attention to the beach itself. It’s almost unrecognisable compared to what it was like just a few years ago.
Popular Spot
Before we moved to Cyprus, we stayed in numerous hotels and villas when we came on holiday here. One of them was the Capital Coast. I remember walking from there along the coast path, which was then just a dusty track. It went past this area but there was very little sand here. In fact, the most prominent feature were the large signs warning of riptides.
They solved the riptide issue by building an artificial reef, which is just below this picture.
Safe Swimming
Now people can swim here in safety.
It is also great for sandcastles.

A few years ago the Venus Beach area was a fairly rough trail over a rocky part of the Paphos Shoreline. It was notorious for rip-tides and wasn't a safe place to swim. Now though, it is a glorious, safe and sandy shore which is proving very popular with tourists and locals alike.
