Description
Small urban swimming spot by the historic Anemomylos windmill on Garitsa Bay. There is no true sandy shoreline—access is via concrete/rock platforms with metal or stone steps into the sea. Water is typically clear and sheltered inside the bay, so conditions are generally calm; occasional boat wake from the adjacent marina may create light chop. Exposure is mostly to easterly open-bay breezes, with the area protected from stronger NW winds common on Corfu. Access is easy on foot along the seafront promenade from Corfu Town; cyclists also use the path. Limited on-street parking along the bay. No on-beach facilities (no lifeguard, sunbeds, or showers); cafés and restaurants line the promenade nearby. Cautions: rocky entries are slippery; no lifeguard; proximity to moorings and boat traffic—stay within swimming areas.
