By car, Skaloma Beach is a 3-kilometer drive from the center of Lefkimmi, and 42 kilometers from Corfu Town. You can either park directly in front of the beach, or at the free parking lot of the port.

Beach Description
Skaloma Beach is situated in a small bay to the north of the Port of Lefkimmi and is oriented towards the eastern direction, looking out at the mainland of Greece.
The beach has a length of approximately 160 meters and an average width of around 10 meters. The beach and seabed are sandy and the seabed has a gentle slope. For the first few meters, the bathing water is shallow.
The main source of pollution is the adjacent port where ferries and other larger boats are docked. However, there is a large arm between the mooring area and the beach and pollution is rare and usually short-lived. Under normal circumstances, the water is very clear and calm, which is great for swimming.
The area behind the beach consists of dense and tall vegetation, creating a secluded area that is great for relaxing and sunbathing.
Facilities At Skaloma Beach
Skaloma Beach is unorganized and has no facilities, so you’ll need to bring your own drinks, snack, and other supplies for a beach day here. However, there is a cafeteria nearby at the Port of Lefkimmi.
