Kerasia Beach - Corfu island - Greece

The long 300m sweep of shingle at Kerasia is in a beautiful spot and ideal for those wishing to escape the crowds. Surrounded by olive and pine the beach is flat and water shallow, though it dips sharply after a few metres. There is a single beach taverna and a small shop on the beach but not much else, although sunbeds are available to hire and there is plenty of parking. Prince Charles apparently is an irregular visitor as the Rothschilds have an estate nearby
