About
This series of unique rock formations on Corfu’s northwestern coast create narrow channels and small bays that are ideal for swimming. Climb the cliffs for stunning views of the beautiful landscape and the Ionian Sea. There aren’t many spots to sunbathe, but the shallow blue waters make for good swimming and snorkeling—explore hidden coves and small caves you can swim under.
Canal D’Amourets gets very busy during the day—visit towards the evening for a peaceful sunset, or stay at the resort and hit the beach early. Watch out for cliff jumpers when you’re in the water.

A beautiful area to visit that is easily accessible by car with free parking.
We started with a walk up the cliffs to see the stunning views on offer which was wonderful.
We then pitched up on the small beach and dived into the sea. We swam through the ‘tunnel of love’ and spent some time jumping into the water. We then spent some time snorkelling further out to sea.
It was truly a stunning place to swim with the beautiful coves and cliffs.
However, I wouldn’t recommend if you are planning on sunbathing as the beach is small and I would imagine it would get very overcrowded during peak season.

Take the cliff path route to Canel D'Amour past restaurants commanding beautiful views over the little beaches and bays below. Great place to sunbath and watch the braver ones jump and dive from small cliffs into the blue waters below but have to admit i didnt attempt it myself.....too my birthdays.There is also a sheltered sandy beach which can become very crowded at times and just above this is outdoor restaurant with panoramic views while enjoying a meal or a cool drink.

Lovely area, nice scenery and plenty of shops, restaurants and bars to choose from. Some parts (i.e. the small beaches) can get a bit crowded but it's nice for a leisurely stroll.

It is a beautiful place to visit with nice restaurants with beautiful views of the sea, some nice shops and bars, if you are fit you can go looking over the hill a lot easier as I have limited mobility I was unable to go there but it looked wonderful, we had some lovely meals at he Sea Garden and the Marie Beach Hotel, also if you go onto the beach you can hire a boat

Definitely a must to visit. We stayed in Sidari and walked . Which was a pleasant walk even in the heat . I would recommend suitable footwear for the rocks and climbing even though lots had flip flops on. Stunning views and great atmosphere. It’s very busy which is expected as soon popular , it’s a must even if it’s just to take in the whole experience and get great photos. Beach was very busy but people coming and going so was easy to get a space . Sea was lovely and great for swimming the mud is great also to put on you write your name in the mud wall. People were jumping from high heights (not for us) good to watch swim through the caves . We didn’t eat or drink there but a few places to eat and drink near. Lovely part of Sidari. People were having a great time.

Loved the Canal D'Amour its lively but quieter than the main strip. A nice ammount of bars and taverna's and a couple of shops.
Visited Fagins every day for breakfast which was lovely, plenty of options and service was fabulous. Sharon was very friendly and attentive, however we did go for our evening meal a couple of times and it was a different story. The food was perfect but the host Donna was very unorganised and often got ours and other orders wrong or mixed up. She just didnt listen to the customer so it all became a bit of a lucky bag. Nothing like the morning service Im sorry to say.

Small crowded beach - lots of litter, no sunbeds of umbrellas as shown on some photos & nowhere to clean the sand off your feat.

Very busy through the day, staying in the area so visited late when crowds disappeared. No where near as romantic as described probably because of crowds and rubbish left behind.

Στη παραλία έχεις πρόσβαση δωρεάν . Αν πας με αυτοκίνητο ο δρόμος ( google map) σε βγάζει σε ένα ξενοδοχείο . Μου ζήτησαν 5€ για να παρκάρω τα οποία τα εξαργύρωσα με 2 καφέδες από το pool bar του ξενοδοχείου. Μπορείς να παρκάρεις και άλλου φυσικά και να πας με τα πόδια.
