Amenities from OpenStreetMap — they may have changed and the list is not exhaustive.
Halikounas beach in Corfu is a natural extension of Issos, with sand and wild, untouched beauty. It is ideal for kitesurfing thanks to the steady thermal wind, while the open sea and lack of shelter create conditions for those seeking freedom.
Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.
The beach faces southwest. With northeasterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with southwesterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The coast is exposed to the open sea, so conditions change quickly with the wind. For kite and windsurf, look for days with southwesterly winds of 4+ Beaufort.
The shore faces southwest (240°), so all year round the sun sets within its field of view, over the water.
An estimate based on the orientation of the shore — a headland or island opposite may hide the horizon.
In calm seas yes, but the water gets deep fairly quickly — normal supervision applies.
On days with northeasterly (offshore) winds or no wind at all. Check the live score on Beach Radar before you go — it updates all day.
No — it is an unspoiled beach with no facilities, so bring water and shade with you.
