Is there a lifeguard at Leira?

Does Leira have a Blue Flag?

No. Leira is not listed with a Blue Flag in the MITECO data. The nearest Blue Flag beach is Pedra do Sal (Carballo), 2 km away in a straight line. Not having one does not make Leira worse: the award certifies services and water quality, not scenery.
