Amenities from OpenStreetMap — they may have changed and the list is not exhaustive.
Paleokastritsa is the trademark of Corfu, with successive coves and deep green waters. The monastery dominates the hilltop, while the area is ideal for snorkeling. The bay is protected from the winds, creating calm conditions.
Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.
The beach faces west. With easterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with westerly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The bay is naturally well sheltered — conditions often remain swimmable even on breezy days.
The shore faces west (290°), so all year round the sun sets within its field of view, over the water.
An estimate based on the orientation of the shore — a headland or island opposite may hide the horizon.

On days with easterly (offshore) winds or no wind at all. Thanks to the sheltered bay it is one of the safer bets in the area on windy days.
Yes — sunbeds, umbrellas and food options operate during the summer season.
