The beach is adjacent to the Antinioti Lagoon, a significant wetland habitat for otters and migratory birds.
The water quality in this area consistently meets Blue Flag certification standards.
The beach is named after the small Byzantine-style church located just steps from the sand.
The seabed consists mainly of fine sand, making it one of the few non-pebbly beaches in Northern Corfu.
The adjacent lagoon acts as a natural filter, contributing to the clarity of the water at the beach entry point.
Agios Spiridon Beach is a sandy, shallow-water beach located on the northern coast of Corfu near the Antinioti Lagoon. The site is a protected Natura 2000 area, known for its biodiversity and brackish water wetlands. It features a blue-flag-awarded shoreline with calm, transparent water that remains shallow for a significant distance from the shore. The beach is bordered by a small, historic church dedicated to Saint Spyridon. Natural vegetation including dunes and reeds surrounds the swimming area, providing a distinct contrast to the more commercialized southern beaches of the island. The beach is accessible by road and remains a popular location for families due to the lack of strong currents and deep drops.

Bring insect repellent if you plan to visit the adjacent Antinioti Lagoon trails.
Water shoes are generally unnecessary here, as the entry is sandy rather than rocky.
Arrive early to secure a spot near the church side, as it offers more natural shade during the morning.
Avoid walking through the protected dunes or vegetation zones to prevent damage to the fragile local ecosystem.
The beach is fully accessible in summer, but amenities such as tavernas and sunbed rentals may be limited or closed outside of the May to October tourist season.
Maintain respectful behavior when near the adjacent church; cover up when walking away from the immediate beach area into the village.
