Stelari Beach

Overview

Stelari Beach is an incredibly beautiful hidden gem on our island – a serene pebbly stretch kissed by turquoise waters and surrounded by dramatic cliffs. The beach is only accessible by sea and therefore hiring a boat from a near by rental is your only option to visit. Setalri beach is also one of the three beaches in the area known as paradise beach.

Location

Located on Corfu’s north western coast, Stelari Beach lies approximately 25 km from Corfu Town and the island’s airport. The beach faces west offering mesmerizing uninterrupted sea views. The journey from Corfu Town takes about 40 minutes, although keep in mind, as mentioned above, that this beach is only accessed by boat and therefore you cannot drive to it directly.

Water Depth & Safety

• The waters at Stelari Beach are generally calm and shallow near the shore.
• The waters are some of the best in Corfu and therefore perfect for snorkelling, revealing a vibrant underwater world with fish and rocky formations.
• There are no lifeguards in the area.

Amenities

Stelari Beach is remote and completely unorganised – it is literally a beach with no access other than by boat. There are no sunbeds and umbrellas for hire and no tavernas or other facilities like toilets, showers, and changing.

Getting There – Parking, Accessibility & Transport

• Parking: There is no parking at this beach. The best option for parking would be in Paleokastritsa where you can hire boats.
• Accessibility: Only accessible by boat.
• Transport: The A9 bus route runs between Corfu Town and Paloekastritsa, here you will need to hire a boat to visit the beach. Renting a car is a great option to travel to nearby Paleokastritisa, where you can park, and hire a boat.

Things to Keep in Mind Before Visiting

Pebbly Terrain: Water shoes are recommended due to the pebbles on the beach.
Busy Summers: Stelari Beach is very popular, especially in July and August, so it can get crowded. Early visits are ideal for prime spots.
Strong Sunlight: With limited natural shade, sun protection (hats, umbrellas, sunscreen) is essential.
Boat Traffic: With boat rentals operating nearby, swimmers may occasionally encounter vessels.
