Arillas Beach kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot
Greece
Overview
Arillas Beach is a spot on Corfu's northwest coast, just south of Agios Stefanos Avliotes. This west/northwest-facing sandy beach is directly exposed to the Maestro. The bay is slightly more sheltered than its northern neighbor due to the coastline configuration, offering somewhat less challenging conditions. The setting is beautiful with cliffs and turquoise water.

On the water
Open water with chop and waves in Maestro. Gradually deepening sandy bottom. Waves generally 0.5-1.5m, smaller than at Agios Stefanos thanks to the slightly more sheltered orientation. Crystal clear and warm water in summer.
Parking
Parking in Arillas village. Spaces along the road to the beach and a main car park. Paved access. In high season, arrive early to find a spot.
Wind specificities
Exposed to the Maestro (NW/WNW/W), the dominant summer wind. Wind arrives onshore to side-onshore. Arillas is slightly more sheltered than Agios Stefanos to the north, with wind often 2-3 knots weaker. The Maestro picks up late morning and peaks in the afternoon (15-20 knots). In NNW/N wind, the wind is more side-shore. Local thermal breezes in the afternoon.
Hazards
Shore break in NW swell. Rocks at the bay's extremities — stay in the central sandy area. Many swimmers in summer, especially near the beach. Tourist boats. No specialized rescue.
