Agios Spiridon, nestled on the northeast coast of Corfu, offers a serene beach experience perfect for those seeking relaxation and natural beauty. This destination is particularly well-suited for families, with its main beaches boasting soft sand and calm, shallow waters ideal for children. The atmosphere here is decidedly tranquil, a contrast to livelier party spots, making it a haven for couples and families desiring a peaceful escape. The unique proximity to the protected Antinioti Lagoon adds to its charm, offering opportunities for nature walks and birdwatching just a stone's throw from the sand.
The primary beach, Agios Spiridon Beach, is a scenic and easily accessible stretch of sand, well-known for its beauty and connection to the nearby lagoon. For a touch of romance and unique geology, a trip to Canal d'Amour is a popular choice. If you're looking for quieter alternatives, Gyaliskari Beach provides a more secluded retreat, while Avlaki Beach is a pebbly, Blue Flag haven ideal for watersports. Families with very young children will appreciate the exceptionally shallow waters at Kalamaki Beach (Apraos). It's worth noting that Agios Spiridon actually features two main sandy bays; the main one and a smaller, often quieter, adjacent cove sometimes called St. Spyridon Second Beach.
Beyond these highlights, the coastline around Agios Spiridon offers further discoveries for beach lovers.
