Ammoussa Beach (also spelled Amousa) is a highly-rated destination on the southern coast of Lefkada, prized for its crystal-clear emerald waters and picturesque setting.

Atmosphere & Scenic Beauty

• Tranquil Cove: Reviewers describe the beach as a “hidden gem” set in a small, sheltered bay. The surrounding rocks and mountains create a peaceful, charming atmosphere, making it one of the most beautiful spots on the island.
• Crowds: Because the beach is relatively small, it can get very crowded. Visitors strongly recommend arriving before 10:00 AM to secure a sunbed or a good spot on the shore.

Water & Shore Quality

• Stunning Waters: The sea is consistently praised for being “unbelievably beautiful” with turquoise and emerald hues. The water is calm and exceptionally clear, making it a safe choice for children.
• Pebbled Shore: The beach is composed of white pebbles rather than sand. Many visitors suggest wearing water shoes for comfort when walking or entering the sea.
• Snorkeling: It is noted as one of the best beaches for snorkeling on Lefkada, with many reviewers mentioning they were able to see a variety of fish along the rocky edges of the bay.

Facilities & Services

• Organized Beach: The beach is well-equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas for rent. Recent reviews mention prices ranging from €10 to €14 for a set of two sunbeds.
• Taverna & Beach Bar: There is a lovely beachfront taverna and a bar offering snacks, coffee, and full meals. Reviewers highlight the “pleasant service” and the convenience of having clean toilet and shower facilities nearby.
• Parking: Free parking is available close to the beach, though it fills up early along with the sunbeds.

Suitability

• Families: Highly recommended for families with children due to the calm, shallow, and clean water.
• Nature Lovers: Perfect for those seeking a picturesque, organized but natural-feeling cove for swimming and exploring underwater life.
