Agiofili beach
Lefkada island

Beach berm:
Shingle
Seafloor:
Shingle
Water rating: 5/5 about
Access:
Poor = Accessible by car, poor road, plus a long walk or climb
Boat = Accessible by boat only
To reach the beach by car one has to drive over some very difficult dirt road before parking ten minutes walk from the beach. The walk is over a rough goat path.

The best way to get there is by water taxi from Vasiliki. The water taxis return in the afternoon to pick up bathers, although one of the days we were there the large waves prevented the water taxi from approaching, so most bathers had to walk for about 45 minutes back to town. So take your walking shoes along just in case.
Amenities:
NONE, bring your own drinking water and food. No amenities anywhere near the beach, so bring your own water. Amazingly enough you can rent a beach bed and umbrella!
RV / Camper Accessibility:
No way to get a camper anywhere near the beach. Park in Vasiliki town and take a water taxi to the beach
Clothing:
Topless is common
Some beach areas might be suitable for nude swimming
Snorkeling:
It looks promising but I did not snorkel
Notes:
Very nice beach, although the waves do pick-up in the afternoon. Getting there is not easy, but the beach is so small that it could not handle big crowds anyway.
