On the water
Semi-flat water in the salt flats area, choppier in open sea. Shallow depths (50cm-1m) in the protected zone, sandy and muddy bottom. In open sea, chop in S/SW wind. Warm water in summer.
Parking
Parking accessible from the Lefkimmi road. Former salt flats area with dirt tracks. Free roadside parking.
Wind specificities
Two wind patterns work here: the Sirocco (SE/S) arriving directly onshore, and the Maestro (NW) wrapping around the south of the island to arrive from SW/WSW. SW wind is side-onshore on this south-facing coast. In summer, the Maestro wrap-around is most common. In spring and autumn, Sirocco is more frequent. Wind can be irregular as it's disrupted by the topography of southern Corfu.
Hazards
Muddy bottom in places — watch for cuts (shells, debris). Wind sometimes irregular with gusts due to topography. Avoid riding too far offshore. Possible maritime traffic to the south. No lifeguards.
