Beach Radar tracks 40 beaches in Lefkada, 2 of them organized. 3 of them sit in enclosed bays with a shelter index of 0.45 or higher, which keeps the water swimmable even on breezy days. The shores face several different directions, so there is almost always a sheltered side. Every beach has its own page with a live score — wind, waves and water temperature at the moment you look.
🏖️ See the live ranking for Lefkada →The shores of Lefkada do not all face the same way: 9 beaches look west and 6 look south. That is an advantage — there is almost always a sheltered side. An easterly wind flattens the shores facing west, while a northerly wind flattens those facing south. The live score on each beach shows which side is working on the day you ask.
