Παραλία Γουβιά, Sandy beach in Corfu, Greece
Gouvia Beach is a sandy shore along Corfu's coast, shaped like a crescent moon with clear water and a mix of sand and pebbles. The beach stretches about 200 meters along the coastline.
The beach sits near ancient Venetian shipyards from the 1600s that once served as naval bases. These facilities were important stations for Venice's Mediterranean operations during that era.
Fishermen have worked these waters for generations, selling their catch directly to the waterfront restaurants. This tradition shapes the daily rhythm of the beach.
You'll find sun loungers, umbrellas, and water sports rentals at the beach. Regular bus service connects this area to Corfu Town throughout the day.
The beach connects directly to one of Greece's largest marinas filled with sailboats and yachts. This blend of natural shoreline and active harbor creates an unusual setting.
