Where can I find nudist beaches in Cyprus?
For those who enjoy sunbathing in Adam and Eve’s attire — here are some places in Cyprus where you can do just that.
Let’s clarify right away — there are no legal zones for sunbathing or swimming nude in Cyprus; technically, it's illegal. However, there are a few spots where a nudist-friendly atmosphere has historically developed.
Nudist beaches in Cyprus
These are the places where nature lovers can gather and sunbathe without offending anyone. But again, we remind you that sunbathing without clothing is not officially allowed in Cyprus.
Pissouri Beach
The secret beach lies east of Pissouri Bay and has attracted nudists for decades due to its difficult access. You can climb over the rocks (sports shoes are advisable) or swim in (a rubber boat and a dry bag are recommended).
Avdimou Beach
Avdimou Beach is also frequented by naturists due to its lack of popularity and infrastructure (including asphalt roads). It's located very close to Pissouri.

Governor’s Beach
This beach is known as a lively and popular spot for tourists, but you can still enjoy nude sunbathing and swimming there. Thanks to its secluded coves, it is considered a semi-official nudist beach. To find them, move westward from the restaurant area toward Limassol. You’ll find the right spot when you reach longitude 33.260333°E.
Ammos tou Kampouri Beach
There is also a nudist beach in the Ayia Napa area. It is located east of the “Ammos tou Kambouri” beach. Walk along the cliffs; the nudist area is a small amphitheater-like cove with a rocky entry. Sandals are recommended due to the slippery stones.

Ammoui Beach
Ammoui Beach is located in the Lara Beach area on the Akamas Peninsula near Paphos, Cyprus. It is a long sandy beach that, despite its size, remains quiet. Nudists tend to stay at the far end, near the white cliffs.

Agios Georgios Bay
Agios Georgios Alamanou. In the Peyia area, nudists choose a secluded spot near the small island of Yeronisos, next to the Temple of Apollo. Access is difficult, but the upside is privacy. Officially it's Agios Georgios, but the area is more commonly referred to as the White Cliffs. Over time, it has become a favorite place for those who like to strip down and sunbathe in hidden coves.

In general, all beaches in Cyprus are clean. But some are awarded not only for cleanliness but also for infrastructure. The award is called the “Blue Flag” and here is the list of Blue Flag beaches in Cyprus.
