Logas Beach, Peroulades

Logas Beach is a wide sandy beach below tall eroded sandstone cliffs at Peroulades on the north-west coast of Corfu, Greece, about 37 km from Corfu Town. The sand is soft and pale, the sea is shallow near the shore and clear, and the cliffs rise steeply behind the beach in layered bands of golden and grey rock. The beach is long and open, facing the Ionian Sea, so the water is generally gentle in summer but can be breezy and carry some swell in the afternoon. It is a relaxed family beach with a calmer feel than the busier resort strip at nearby Sidari, and the shallow shelving water suits children and casual swimmers. Amenities are limited compared with larger resorts. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for hire, a cafe serves drinks and light meals, and there is a car park close to the beach. Toilets and showers may be available at the cafe, though visitors should confirm on arrival. Lifeguard provision varies. Peroulades is best known for the cliff-top viewpoint near the village, where the sunset over the sea draws visitors in the evening, and the viewpoint looks down onto the beach and the sandstone formations. Reaching the beach involves a walk down a path or steps from the upper area, and the climb back up is the main effort. By road the beach is roughly an hour from Corfu Town. A rental car or taxi is the most practical option, and visitors without a car can take the bus to Sidari and continue by local taxi. The beach is at its best from June to September. Mornings are quieter, and late afternoon combines the best light with the sunset viewing. Because shade is limited beyond the umbrellas, sun protection is important in midsummer. Nearby attractions include the Canal d'Amour at Sidari and Arillas Beach to the south.
