Asprokavos Beach

A quieter sandy stretch beyond the main Kavos resort, moving towards the wilder southern headland and Arkoudilas.

Asprokavos Beach has a sand shoreline. Local tracks and natural access south of Kavos; conditions can be rougher than at the main resort beach.

The beach is essentially unorganised.

What to expect

The shoreline is predominantly sand. 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

The open setting leaves the beach more exposed to changes in wind and sea conditions.

Who this beach suits

This beach is particularly well suited to a quieter beach day, nature lovers and swimming. Its quieter character is part of the appeal, particularly if you want to get away from the island's busier resort beaches.

Facilities

This is essentially an unorganised beach, so it suits visitors who are happy with a simpler, more natural setup.

Getting there and practical information

Local tracks and natural access south of Kavos; conditions can be rougher than at the main resort beach.

Planning your visit

Early morning or later afternoon is a particularly good time to enjoy the quieter atmosphere and softer light.

Is it the right beach for you?

Choose it if peace, scenery and a more natural shoreline matter more to you than organised facilities. Check the sea conditions when you arrive, particularly on windier days.
