Insufficient Lifeguard Coverage in Cyprus
July 15, 2026
In Cyprus, there are 84 vacant lifeguard positions, indicating that swimmers need to be more cautious. Out of the 374 approved positions, only 290 are filled by lifeguards. The vacant positions vary by district, with the highest numbers in Paphos and Limassol. The safest beaches are the busier ones, as they have more lifeguards on duty. Lifeguard placements are made based on priorities and needs in each area.
