When it comes to beautiful sand and surf, sun-worshippers can take their pick of one of the 14 Beaches of Ayia Napa, some of which are considered the best in the Mediterranean. Each has distinctive features and feel, so it depends on what people are in the mood for at the moment. Perhaps the most popular is Nissi Beach, which is two connecting beaches with two different experiences—one is party central with DJs and parties during the summer months, and the other more east is smaller and more chill. Another possibility is the neighboring Vathia Gonia Beach, or Sandy Bay, known for its fine white sands and serene ambiance, and a top choice among families. Watersports abound here especially jet-skiing and parasailing along with snorkeling.
