Arillas Beach

The beach is predominantly sandy, with some pebbly sections, and the seabed shelves gently into shallow water. It is particularly well suited to families and visitors looking for an easy-going beach day.

Sunbeds are available seasonally, while showers, changing facilities and toilets are listed along the beach. Watersports and beachfront places to eat and drink are also available in season.

Arillas faces west and is one of the area's strongest sunset beaches. Parking is available around the main seafront, although the busiest summer periods can make spaces more limited.

What to expect

The shoreline is predominantly a mixture of sand and pebble. Beach shoes can be useful, particularly when entering and leaving the water. The sandy sections are comfortable for anyone planning to spend several hours on the beach. The generous stretch of shoreline gives you more room to spread out than at Corfu's smaller coves and makes it a good option if you enjoy beach walks as well as swimming.

Swimming and sea conditions

Entry to the sea is gradual and relatively shallow near the shoreline. Conditions are often calm, particularly during settled summer weather.

Who this beach suits

This beach is particularly well suited to families, swimming, sunsets and relaxed beach days. If you can stay into the evening, it is also a good setting for watching the sunset.

Facilities

There are organised sections in season, making it easier to settle in for a full beach day. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available seasonally along organised sections. Restaurants, cafés and bars line the beachfront and village. Seasonal watersports are available from the main beach. Useful beach amenities include toilets, showers and changing facilities.

Getting there and practical information

Free parking is available around the main seafront and nearby streets, but spaces can become limited in peak periods. Easy access from the resort seafront. The main beach is directly beside the village road and beachfront businesses. No dedicated accessible sea-entry system was verified for 2026.

Planning your visit

For a full beach day, late morning through the afternoon gives you the best chance of finding seasonal services operating, although this is also when organised beaches are busiest. Parking is generally easier before the main lunchtime rush. If sunset is one of the reasons you are visiting, plan to stay beyond the main beach-going hours rather than leaving in mid-afternoon.

Is it the right beach for you?

Choose it if you want an easy, low-effort beach day with enough nearby facilities to stay comfortably for several hours.
