Nissi Beach is probably the single most famous beach in Cyprus. It takes its name from the island ("Nissi" in Greek) that hangs off the western side of the beach.
It was the first beach to be developed in Ayia Napa and remains probably the most popular, at least among the younger crowds.
At its best, it is justifiably one of the top beaches in Cyprus – toward the beginning and end of the season, before it gets too crowded, it is utterly crystalline and quite remarkable.
The last few years during the peak periods, it can get very crowded and can pick up some green seaweed which ruins the effect a bit for swimming. The west side (Nissi Bay) has the main Ayia Napa beach parties all summer long.
Water is generally calm in the morning and a bit wavy in afternoon, like most of Ayia Napa. It, needless to say, has the full set of water sports, bungee jumping, etc.

Overall, one of the stalwarts of Ayia Napa.
calm water, shallow, water sports, food vendors, chairs available
Nissi Beach is a lively beach in Agai Napa. It is a popular beach for young people. There are many water sports available, including jet skiing, para sailing, tubing, etc. There is also a cliff that people can jump off of.
Nissi beach gets very crowded. Chairs are available to rent for 2.50 euro each. It can be hard to find a place on the sand because of the crowd. Get there early!
The crowd, Nissi beach attracts, results in trash, littering the beach. The worst to me, were the cigarette buts which covered the sand. It was the worse I have ever seen cigarette buts at a beach.
The crowd and litter at Nissi beach does not compel me to return. It is beautiful though. The water is shallow for meters, which is safe for the kids. The waves are also very calm. There are food vendors around which is also nice. If you don't mind a crowd, than you would probably love Nissi Beach, but it is not the beach for me.
