Playground

Set on the seafront embankment beside Paphos' iconic lighthouse, this bright, newly built outdoor playground is a favourite stop for families walking the coastal path. The fenced play area is filled with soft sand and features wooden swings, slides and climbing equipment, so little ones can play safely while parents relax nearby. Beautiful sea views, a refreshing breeze and a sunshade add to the appeal, and visitors are encouraged to bring their own sand toys.

A cafe and snack bar sit right next door, serving coffee (Lavazza) and drinks, with restrooms close by, making it easy to spend a relaxed few hours by the water. Part of the Blue Flag Lighthouse (Faros) beach area, it is ideal for family outings, casual hangouts and a break during a seaside stroll. Note that shade can be limited at peak times, and evenings by the sea can turn cool, so bring extra layers.

Rated an excellent 4.9 by visitors, it is a simple, scenic and welcoming spot for children in western Paphos.
