There are 3 'beaches' in Lakka bay itself - but like all of the island mostly bright white stone as opposed to sand
On the west side of the bay the first one along the path is small and usually (depending upon the winter storms) gently shelving - once over the stones it is quite sandy underfoot. Further along is Harami which is longer and shelves steeper and has a taverna at the back (maybe ?) and has sun loungers for hire.
Some people go across the other, east side, where there is a sand and shingle area each side of the small breakwater
These are all 10- 15 mins walk from Andrikos.
Further up and along the headland you can walk to Planis beach below the lighthouse which looks out over the west coast - and quite good for snokelling etc : too far and hilly for me at my age though! - and from memory probably a good 40 minute walk
For a more adventurous trek you could walk (or bus and walk) to a number of 'beaches' on the east coast between Lakka and Loggos. If you like walking its probably worth buying the Bleasdale walking map which will guide you to all of the beaches and sights on the island.
Failing that - hire a boat for a day or two and find your own piece of paradise on either the east or west coasts ( or subject to weather in search of some real sand on Anti Paxos
Enjoy your first (and, unless you are some of the very few who hate the place, unlikely to be your last) trip to Paxos
Many others on here will be able to give you their own views and preferences
Jeff
