Most of the West coasts of Corfu are characterized by a sandy sea floor. This is not the case of Ermones beach along with some other, like Paleokastritsa. The reason for that is Ermones bay who protects the shore from both the big waves of NW and SW gusts. Waves within millions of years have the potential to transform the rock and the stones stones into sand by attrition.
The rocky and stony sea bottom of Ermones is ideal for snorkeling, specially because within this bay, another bay is formed in the northen part of it, giving a full protection to NW gusts which are the most common on the island of Corfu. It is obvious thougth that sometimes NW gusts can give this fresh sea waters like Paleokastritsa and like all other western beachs on the island.
Our snorkeling activity will comence in the bay of Ermones and will proceed into knowing the NW smaller bay within it. Green crystal clear waters is what we about to see and sure lot of rocks while the feeling of meeting the open ocean which spreads open wide after Ermones bay, is something that nooen can forget easily.
