Kalamaki Beach, also known as Apraos, is famous for one remarkable feature: its incredibly shallow water. This vast, sandy bay is often called Corfu's "natural swimming pool for toddlers," as you can walk for up to one hundred metres into the calm, warm sea before it even reaches your knees. Long wooden jetties stretch out over the water, allowing easier access to deeper sections for swimming. With soft golden sand and a handful of superb beachfront tavernas, Kalamaki is the undisputed champion for families with very young children seeking the safest possible beach day.

No. This is Kalamaki Beach (Apraos) on the northeast coast. There is another, much smaller beach called Kalamaki near the resort of Peroulades on the northwest coast, which is often confused with this one.
It is exceptionally shallow. You can walk out for 50-100 metres into the sea, and the water will often still only be up to your knees. It's unlike any other beach on the island in this regard.
Absolutely. The tavernas at Kalamaki are very family-friendly, offering a wide range of food, high chairs, and a relaxed atmosphere. Many have play areas for children as well.
