Arillas beach guide

Arillas is a long, straight and fairly narrow beach of soft golden sand on the northwest coast; in places the sand is mixed with clay, which can make the water a little cloudy. The sea is shallow, so it's easy for children.

The beach faces west, and at sunset you look out over the small, uninhabited Gravia islets towards the more distant Diapontia islands. There are sunbeds and umbrellas, beach bars and cafés, showers and boat hire, and boat trips leave from the little jetty, including to Porto Timoni.

It's about 35 km from Corfu Town, just over an hour by bus, though buses are few. You can park along the road behind the beach, with a few steps down to the sand.
