Lepeda Beach, Bay and beach in Kefalonia, Greece

Lepeda Beach is a bay with orange-red sand bordered by limestone cliffs on the southeastern side of the Paliki Peninsula. The water is shallow and clear, with rock formations creating natural pools along the shoreline.

The bay lies at the end of a coast road about 2 km south of Lixouri, on the southeastern side of the Paliki peninsula. The surrounding land is made of local limestone covered with low brushwood, and houses with beach-front access stand along the shore. The beach itself is a strip of orange-red sand roughly 150 m long and up to 10 m wide, with sets of rocks near the water at its northern end.

The beach draws in local families who appreciate a quieter escape during their free time, away from busier parts of the island. It serves as a natural gathering spot where people come to spend the day in a straightforward, unpretentious way.

A short, steep, well-made road descends to the beach, ending at a small shop selling drinks. Many drivers park on the slope, but continuing to the bottom and turning left in front of the shop leads to a larger car park. Sunshades can be hired, and a volleyball net is often set up.

The beach is about 150 m long and up to 10 m wide in places, and sets of rocks near the shore at its northern end are easy to overlook from the road above. The single small shop at the foot of the ramp sells drinks, and a volleyball net is often set up on the sand.
