The beach is part of a series of southern coves on Lefkada that remain less crowded than the island's famous west-coast beaches.
Ammoussa Beach is a sheltered pebble cove located on the southern coast of Lefkada island. The beach is characterized by its deep, calm, turquoise waters protected by surrounding high cliffs. Facilities include sunbeds, umbrellas, and waterfront tavernas serving fresh local seafood. The beach surface consists of smooth white pebbles rather than sand. It is accessible via a paved road that winds through the mountainous terrain of the Apollonii region. The bay provides natural wind protection, making the sea surface generally flat. Visitors can swim in clear, deep water directly off the shoreline.
