Perama Beach, located on the central east coast of Corfu, offers a unique vantage point and a peaceful atmosphere just a short distance from Corfu Town. This quiet pebble beach is famous for its stunning views of the Pontikonisi (Mouse Island) and the Vlacherna Monastery, which are connected to the mainland by a small causeway. It’s an ideal spot for those who want to be close to the island’s capital while enjoying a serene coastal experience.
Beach Size
Perama Beach is a narrow strip of small pebbles and coarse sand. It stretches along the coastline of the Perama area, offering several small coves and platforms for sunbathing and swimming.
Water type
The waters here are generally calm and clear, with a gentle slope. Being in a protected bay, the sea is often very still, which is perfect for swimming.
Activities
The main attraction of Perama is the stunning view. You can spend your time swimming, relaxing, and taking photos of the iconic Mouse Island. It is also a popular spot for fishing. The nearby causeway to the Vlacherna Monastery is a must-see, and you can even take a small boat from there to visit Mouse Island.
Amenities
The beach is partially organized, with some sunbeds and umbrellas available for rent, often provided by the small hotels and cafes that line the coast. You’ll find a selection of local tavernas and restaurants where you can enjoy a meal or a drink with a fantastic view.
Family Friendly
With its calm waters and lack of large waves, Perama Beach is a suitable choice for families with children. The proximity to amenities and the peaceful atmosphere make it a comfortable option for a family day out.

The Perama area offers a wide range of accommodation, from small apartments to larger hotels. We recommend the Oasis Hotel, which offers comfortable rooms and a swimming pool, all within walking distance of the beach and with incredible views of the Ionian Sea.
