Easy shore dive with turtles and rock features.
Agios Georgios Pegeia Beach is an easy shore dive and snorkel stop on Cyprus's Paphos coast, with a simple harbor-beach entry and shallow rock features just offshore. The route works as a relaxed out-and-back over low rock formations, including arches, a canyon, a hole, and swim-throughs that keep the dive interesting without demanding depth. It is a good fit for calm-water days, and the same sheltered shoreline is known for resident turtles, octopus, and sting rays.
