Description
Benitses Beach lines the east-coast road through Benitses village. The shoreline is mixed: a small sandy strip by the marina and longer sections of fine pebbles to the north. Water is typically clear and generally calm on this side of Corfu, with only occasional chop in onshore winds. Access is straightforward on foot from the village, by car via the Corfu–Lefkimmi road, and by Corfu city bus No. 6 from town. Parts of the beach are organized with sunbed/umbrella rentals, showers and toilets, nearby beach bars and tavernas, plus water-sports operators; boat trips and rentals run from the adjacent marina. Parking is mostly along the road, with a large free area near the marina. Cautions: keep well away from the marina entrance and marked water-sports lanes due to boat traffic; pebbly stretches may benefit from swim shoes.
