On Corfu’s south west coast the long stretch of Halikounas’ sandy beach protects Lake Korission from the sea. The lake is a haven for over one hundred species of birdlife including great white egrets, oyster catchers and curlews. A small wooden bridge crosses the point where the lake flows into the sea and leads to a forest of cedar and juniper trees and then to Agios Georgios beach. Halikounas beach has soft sand dunes, safe shallow swimming, no beachfront building and few visitors.
Agios Georgios beach (Argirades) offers tavernas, bars, watersports and more visitors. The lake is bordered by hillsides of olive groves, citrus orchards and vineyards and looks up to the monastery on top of Mount Agios Mattheos. This area of Corfu island (Korfu) is agricultural and very peaceful

Beach location: From the main Corfu - Lefkimmi road, in the vicinity of Moraitika, take the turn to Agios Matheos. You will come to a"gantry" over the road displaying various destinations. At the gantry, take the left turn and then follow the signs for Halikounas beach through olive groves and agricultural land.
It sounds more complicated than it actually is and you will be rewarded with arrival at an attractive and uncommercial beach. Sand, sea and little else.
Disabled access: There are very few access points capable of taking the width of a wheelchair. Halikounas beach itself is soft sand with the main entrance point at a somewhat rocky stretch. Those who are not wheelchair users will probably find the access ok. Car parking: Park on the roadside.
Food outlets/restaurants: One or two cantina style snack bars and a taverna.
Sand/pebbles/shingle: Rocks at the perimeter of Halikounas beach rapidly give out into soft golden sand. The environment is natural and there is no major "organisation."
Sunbeds/umbrellas: There are but a few and it's probably advisable to bring your own umbrella if you're planning to stay any length of time. Showers: Yes. For toilets, it's the taverna and some beach bars!
Safe for children: Other than the need to be watchful for the rocks, the waters are shallow for some distance and this is a good area for younger swimmers. Watersports: No.
Main users: Used by local people and tourists with the emphasis probably on "locals".
Well cared for: Yes. The area tends to be respected by visitors and is maintained by nature (with a little help from the municipality). A rugged, natural and clean environment. Mooring for boats: No.
Next to quayside/harbour: No. Storm drains/outlets into sea: No.
Natural shady areas: There are sand hills but these provide little in the way of shade.
Any other facilities: No. Distance to main resorts: Messonghi and Moraitika are about 10 km respectively. Public transport: No. Blue Flag: No. (Why not? - it seems to deserve one!)
