Gudauta is a marine health resort. It has a humid subtropical climate (somewhat cooler and damper than in Sukhumi) with very mild winters (mean January temperature, 6° C) and very warm summers (mean July temperature, 24° C); annual precipitation is 1,460 mm. The resort offers air and sun baths and sea bathing. Treatment is available for patients with non-tubercular respiratory ailments and nervous, cardiovascular, and metabolic disorders. Facilities include sanatoriums, a resort polyclinic, worker resort homes, hotels, and tourist hostels. The bay on which Gudauta is situated has a gravel beach that turns sandy in its eastern section. The bathing season lasts from mid-May through October.

The city has a tobacco-fermentation plant, a winery, citrus-packing facilities, a machine shop, an automotive repair shop, and a tea factory, and a building-materials plant. G. K. Ordzhonikidze lived in Gudauta in 1905 and carried on his revolutionary work there. A medieval architectural complex is located 4 km from the city in the village of Lykhny: it contains the ruins of a palace, a bell tower, and a cupolaed church (tenth and 11th centuries) with 14th-century frescoes.
