Cyprus offers a good variety of kitesurfing spots, located in the Limassol district and fairly close to one another (about 10-30mins drive from one beach to the next). The most popular of these are:
- Paramali Beach
- Curium Beach
- Lady’s Mile Beach
- Avdimou Beach
Your choice of where to go will depend on factors such as wind direction, experience level, preferred sea conditions, style of riding etc. Please refer to the map below showing the location of each spot. Click on each name for detailed information and photos.

Paramali Beach
General: This spot rarely attracts any tourists or swimmers even during the busiest summer months. This beach is favored by all riders, especially when the winds are light to moderate, making it very crowded during the summer season.
Wind Conditions: W or SW is the prevailing wind during the summer, which makes the conditions side on-shore. This beach is not recommended with Easterly winds.
Sea Conditions: It’s a choppy beach with some kickers.
How to get there: About 30mins drive from Limassol via the motorway. Take the first exit after the tunnel, then at the ‘STOP’ sign turn right and just before you reach the Turkish minaret turn left (by the house opposite the small church).
Tip: If the forecast says it will be windy, go to the beach early. Here the wind comes earlier than in other places and dies away earlier as well.
Curium Beach
General: Good place for those who enjoy riding waves. Not a beach for beginners. It is essential that you ride outside the swimmers’ designated areas (marked by red buoys).
Wind Conditions: W or SW winds make the conditions side-on-shore. This beach is not recommended with Easterly winds.
Sea Conditions: Vary from small chop to big waves. Usually small shore breaking waves with some chop when W/ SW winds.
How to get there: 20mins drive from Limassol city to Paphos city. Follow the Erimi exit sign from the motorway. Then after 3 minutes of drive you will go through the Erimi village. Continue driving straight ahead until the sea is on your left hand side. You will see multiple signs for restaurants towards the beach…turn left follow the road until you reach the coastline.
Lady’s Mile Beach
General: The only option during Easterly winds. Can be a fun place with shore breaking waves even in low winds. Long, and for the most part empty coastline. Accessible and available only winter months because of swimmers and restaurants. The beach’s salt lake is suitable for all land kite sports.
Wind Conditions: During the winter months, Easterly winds are dominant, which make the conditions on-shore with a touch of side-shore. In W/ SW winds, conditions are off-shore and extremely gusty. Not recommended as you can drift out to the open sea if something goes wrong.
Sea Conditions: Shore breaking waves during Easterly winds.
How to get there: Find your way to the New Limassol Port (just follow the Limassol coastal road with direction Paphos) and you will see the signs at the Port’s round about. Only 10-15mins drive from Limassol center.
Avdimou Beach
General: Not as crowded as Curium or Paramali and can be an ideal location for beginners, who can keep upwind, and for those who like to practice tricks.
Wind Conditions: Mostly side-shore during W or SW winds. This beach is not recommended with easterly winds.
Sea Conditions: Flat water inside the bay, gets choppy outside.
How to get there: Easy access from the motorway, just take the ‘Avdimou’ exit (second exit after the tunnel) and follow the signs to the Bay (not the village). Half-way between Limassol and Paphos (30mins drive from each town).
Tip: If you can’t get upwind, don’t go far out, otherwise you may end up going past the Bay.
