On the water
Open water facing northwest with waves and chop in Maestro. Gradually deepening sandy bottom. Waves 0.5-2m depending on wind strength. The Diapontia islands offshore provide slight protection limiting maximum wave size. Crystal clear water.
Parking
Parking at the end of the road going down to Agios Stefanos beach. Parking spots along the road and a main car park near the beach. Paved access all the way to the beach.
Wind specificities
Direct exposure to the Maestro (NW/WNW), the dominant summer wind of the Ionian islands. Wind arrives onshore to side-onshore with no obstacles, often 15-25 knots in midsummer. The northwest coast is Corfu's most exposed to the Maestro. Wind is generally steady and sustained, without the turbulence found on sheltered coasts. N/NNW wind also blows side-onshore from the right.
Hazards
In strong Maestro, waves can be powerful with shore break. Lateral currents possible in the bay. Tourist boats heading to the Diapontia islands in summer. Rocks at the bay's extremities — stay in the central sandy area. No specialized rescue nearby.
