Nestled amongst olive groves, fig trees and vineyards, between picturesque villages and azure seas, you’ll find some of the most frequented and enchanting beaches in northern Corfu.
Corfu is a paradise for those who love sandy beaches and unspoilt coves, but equally for those who prefer shingle beaches and rocky inlets ideal for snorkelling.
A particularly lovely small shingle beach. You can hire sun loungers and parasols, take part in water sports and join organised boat trips. Just behind the beach you’ll find several tavernas and cafés. The nearby village is lively and bustling in the evenings—perfect for a night out. If you head up the nearby Mount Pantokrator, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views across the entire island of Corfu, mainland Greece and neighbouring Albania.
A waterfront spot just beyond the busy Ipsos Bay, where you can find some excellent tavernas. The modest beach is a mix of sand and shingle, equipped with public showers and offering sun lounger and parasol hire. Behind the beach lies a tree-shaded green space with olive trees, perfect for a quiet rest. Water sports such as banana boats are available here.
Beneath the village sits a tiny beach tucked between rocks, with several tavernas and restaurants nearby. The horseshoe-shaped beach is beautifully sheltered and covered in fine shingle. It’s ideal if you’re after peace and quiet or fancy some snorkelling, and sun loungers and parasols are available to hire.
A distinctly charming small sandy and shingle cove, popular with local fishermen’s tavernas. The lovely beach has become increasingly touristy of late, thanks partly to the wonderful coastal walks in the area. You can hire sun loungers and parasols, and water taxis are available to nearby beaches. The sea is beautifully clean, with depths that increase rapidly.
Nestled beneath a mountainside on the north-eastern coast lies this spectacular sandy and shingle bay. So captivated by its beauty, writer Durrell and his wife chose to make their home here for several years. A medium-sized beach, it boasts facilities including showers, a water sports centre, boat hire and sun lounger and parasol rental. The shallow waters make it perfect for families with young children, and you’ll find tavernas just behind the beach.
A welcoming shingle cove with a small harbour, wonderfully peaceful and relatively undiscovered by tourists. This compact beach has no tourist facilities—these are located about a kilometre away. To reach the cove, follow a path winding through olive groves. By swimming out, you can reach several unspoilt tiny beaches.
A charming sandy inlet that remains relatively untouched by tourism, being set back from the main road and surrounded by rolling hills. The beach has public facilities including showers and toilets, though avoid it on windy days when seaweed tends to wash ashore. Located seven kilometres north of Kalami and very close to the Albanian coast, it’s also where you can catch a ferry to the Diapontie Islands of Mathraki and Othonoi.
Roda offers two distinct sandy beaches: a small one west of the village and another of the island’s largest, popular with tourists and fashionable. Around 40 kilometres from Corfu town and close to Acharavi Beach, an enormous stretch of sand, Roda allows you to hire boats or refresh yourself at any number of Greek tavernas along the shore.
Sidari‘s three main beaches include the stunning Canal d’Amour, a fine sandy beach nestled between two rocky outcrops, a second featuring an extensive sandy stretch that’s hugely popular, and a third—a small rocky cove shaped by wind and waves. The shallow waters are ideal for small children. You’ll have no trouble finding accommodation, tavernas, restaurants, bars and clubs. The resort lies eight kilometres west of Roda.
At the foot of towering white cliffs in north-western Corfu, 36 kilometres from the capital, sits Peroulades Beach with its distinctive ochre sand. Narrow and long, this undeveloped beach is reached via a steep path and 66 steps. The waters are shallow and clay surfaces emerge from the sea, so many visitors take the opportunity to indulge in impromptu mud masks. A taverna perched above the beach offers stunning views, particularly at sunset.
Near the village of Arila, within a cliff-backed bay, you’ll find two rather popular beaches. Long but not particularly wide, these sandy and shingle beaches feature small rocks easily accessible by swimming and offer parasol and sun lounger hire as well as pedalos, boats, windsurfing and kayaking. Ideal for families with young children thanks to the shallow seas, it’s also wonderfully peaceful. Several restaurants line the beach.
