Kerasia Beach is a picturesque and tranquil pebble beach located in Kassopei on the northeast coast of Corfu, part of the Ionian Islands, Greece. Nestled beneath a steep hill and surrounded by lush greenery, the beach offers visitors crystal-clear, warm waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Its rocky shoreline and clear blue sea provide a serene escape away from the more crowded tourist spots, making it perfect for those seeking relaxation and natural beauty. The beach is accessible by a narrow, steep road approximately 5 km from the main road, with the closest village being Agios Stefanos about 1.5 kilometers away. A coastal path from Kalami also allows for a scenic 30-minute walk to the beach, appealing to walkers and nature lovers.
Kerasia Beach has an intimate, non-commercial vibe, popular among families and travelers wanting a peaceful atmosphere. Despite its peacefulness, it supports a small but lively scene with a couple of traditional tavernas and snack bars near the shore, which are busy especially during lunchtime. The beach has sunbeds and umbrellas available for rent early in the day, although these tend to fill up quickly in high season. Views from the beach extend to Albania across the sea, adding to its scenic charm. Overall, Kerasia Beach balances natural tranquility with enough amenities to make a comfortable day visit without overwhelming crowds or commercialization.
The steep hill accessed by winding pathways might present a challenge for those with mobility limitations, but the beach’s clean waters and atmosphere attract visitors who enjoy activities such as beach volleyball, swimming, and exploring the bay where boats and yachts often moor.
