✓ Manually calibrated shoreline

The orientation of the shore and the shelter of the bay were checked one by one on the map for every beach — they are not derived automatically.

Acharavi beach stretches along the northern coast of Corfu, with fine sand and shallow waters. Its location makes it vulnerable to north winds, but on calm days it is suitable for families. The bay offers limited natural protection. The beach is organized with umbrellas and sunbeds, while nearby tavernas are available.

Wind & waves: when to go

The beach faces north. With southerly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with northerly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The coast is exposed to the open sea, so conditions change quickly with the wind.

🌅 Sunset over the sea: June–June

The shore faces north (5°), so from June to June the sun sets within its field of view, over the water. In the remaining seasons the sunset falls further to the side, over land.

An estimate based on the orientation of the shore — a headland or island opposite may hide the horizon.
