The cosmopolitan sunset beach
A long, wide sweep of soft golden sand with dunes and pine-clad cliffs — a relatively rare sight on pebbly Corfu. It faces west, which is why it is famous for its sunsets.
It is one of the island’s most popular, cosmopolitan beaches, with beach bars, clubs and full facilities; the water deepens gently (Blue Flag). It can get crowded.
