Kanoni Beach (Corfu Town) has a pebble, sand shoreline. Road and foot access in the Kanoni area.

What to expect

The shoreline is predominantly a mixture of pebble and sand. 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. It is a compact beach, which gives it an intimate feel but means space can become limited at the busiest times of day.

Swimming and sea conditions

The bay is relatively sheltered, which can help keep conditions more settled than on exposed stretches of coast. It is generally a family-friendly option, with normal supervision around the water.

Who this beach suits

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

Facilities

There are organised sections in season, making it easier to settle in for a full beach day. Sunbeds and parasols are available for hire in season. A bar and restaurant are located beside the beach. The emphasis is more on swimming and relaxing than on a large watersports programme. Useful beach amenities include showers.

Getting there and practical information
