(Translated by Google) The General's Beach begins with the urban legend was an Italian general of World War II, who had come to Albania in the early 1940's, when Italy invaded Albania. According to the Albanian newspaper during the expeditions in the Kavaja area in the village of Bardhor - where one of the prisons of the Albanian state is still today - he met in a beautiful bay of about 400 meters wide, which was bathed by a deep blue sea that was broken off rocky terrain creating a crumbling water-land line that closed with two left-right palms, in the form of a horseshoe. This turquoise blue pocket was clothed with shrubs and soft hills that impressed the military. And outside the context of the war he shared with his mind that this was a wonderful bay to make the beach. Shortly after returning to Italy, he took his family and roamed the bay once more, but this time by yacht, by the sea. It has been more than sixty years since then, but to this day, this bay continues to be called the General Beach because of the attendance of a former soldier for years in a row until the war ended. It can not be called otherwise, although the number of those who attend is far greater than just a wealthy family of war times. However, it still has a small connection, because it continues to be a very popular place among Albanian soldiers (former President Alexander Moisiu), or even by well-known state figures who have visited this impressive country at least once, without counting any other public people who have been pointing for their holiday season each summer. (Original) Plazhi i Gjeneralit fillon me legjendën urbane na ishte një gjeneral italian i Luftës së Dytë botërore, i cili kishte ardhur në Shqipëri në fillim të viteve 40, kur Italia pushtoi Shqipërinë. Sipas gazetës Shqip gjatë ekspeditave në zonën e Kavajës pikërisht në fshatin Bardhor – ku edhe sot ndodhet një nga burgjet e shtetit shqiptar – ai ndeshi në një gji të mrekullueshëm rreth 400 metra të gjerë, që puthej nga një det thellësisht blu i cili copëzohej nga pjesë shkëmbore duke krijuar një vijë të thërrmuar ujë-tokë e cila mbyllej me dy kepa majtas-djathtas, në formën e një patkoi. Ky xhep i bruztë-blu, ishte i veshur me shkurre të blerta e kodra të buta që e mahnitën ushtarakun. Dhe jashtë kontekstit të luftës ai e ndau me mendjen e tij se ky ishte një gji i mrekullueshëm për të bërë plazh. Pak kohë pasi u kthye në Itali, mori familjen e tij dhe e mësyu gjirin edhe njëherë, por kësaj radhe me jaht, nga deti. Kanë kaluar më shumë se gjashtëdhjetë vjet që atëherë, por edhe sot e kësaj dite, ky gji vazhdon të quhet Plazhi i Gjeneralit, për shkak të frekuentimit që i bëri ushtaraku i dikurshëm, për vite rresht, derisa mbaroi lufta. Tashmë ai s’mund të quhet ndryshe, ndonëse numri i atyre që e frekuentojnë është shumë më i madh se thjesht një familje e pasur e kohërave të luftës. Megjithatë, e ka sërish një lidhje të vogël, sepse vazhdon të jetë një vend shumë i pëlqyer edhe prej ushtarakëve shqiptarë (ish-presidenti Aleksandër Moisiu), apo edhe prej figurave të njohura shtetërore që e kanë vizituar të paktën një herë këtë vend mbresëlënës, pa llogaritur persona te tjerë publikë që këtu kanë piketuar për çdo verë folenë e tyre të pushimeve.

Sandy ⛱️, not crowded, 2 sunbeds and umbrella 800 leka, water was little colder, and there were waves all day. You have free parking, restaurants, it's very good to spend one day if You are in Durres or Golem. Road is bumpy and dusty in the end about 3km no asphalt.

The road was damaged but you can go to the destination with any kind of car if you show caution. To get to the destination you will have a breathtaking view.... The place ofers you a lot of services like camping exept the market... you can have a nice weekend with your friends or family 😊

(Translated by Google) You just never come ... (Original) Απλά δεν έρχεσαι ποτέ...

Pebble stones with sand on the beach. Cozy camping with cafes. Nice place, not overcrowded on the weekend. The road to the place is not paved sometimes and goes across steep hills

One of the best gems in Albanian riviera, an amazing place with views that will take u breath away!! A perfect place for an quite and relaxing vacation. Road is a bit not decent but still easily manageable, approximately 20min from the nearest highway so u can enjoy the view that gives u mountain till u arrive at beach with some slow drive. There are 2 restaurants where one serves till 5PM mostly traditional food and the other which offers u breakfast and dinner, staff it was respectful, friendly and helpful. Accommodations are perfectly located in mountain shadows and give u an amazing evening or morning panorama of the sea which is quite breathtaking, some of them seemed to be newly made however I had some of the oldest cabins which was a bit outdated but still meets all the criteria for an comfortable stay! Finally the beach is one of most clean and crystal water beachfront, umbrellas are nicely arranged and are giving u good privacy between visitors. However the main component the water looks to have the major impact at this gem since when i was on last week of July water was surprisingly tooo cold!!!! It was maybe because the days before were rainy but still the beaches in the nearby cities very having a big difference?! I could sadly say that u cannot go for a swim more than 1min as u will freeze to that level that u start feeling the pain from cold!!

This place is very well located, but can not imagine to stay here more than one day and night… Very unpleasant sea, not good for families with children, for swimming also not good, but maybe because of wind I was there…. If the sea is calm after that yes is good place… but again for one day and night if you like to discover more from Albania. If you like big waves enjoy…. but not for me thanks. Second problem is a rubish everywhere… Good is - Parking, sun beds and umbrellas are for free… during my stay

(Translated by Google) Safety in this beach is lacking. All the other and super .... the landscape, clean, the service, the people very friendly, there is also place for campers, but lacks a doctor to give the first socorsso and the coast guard (Original) Manca la sicurezza in questa spiaggiA. Tutto laltro e super....il panorama, pulito, il servizio, la gente molto amichevole, ce posto anche per I camper, pero manca un medico per dare il primo socorsso e la guardia costiera

One of my most liked beaches i have been. Water crystal clear,not so crowded,sandy beaches and amazing views. Definitely will come back!!

It was an amzing place to visit.The water was very clean compare to the other places that i have visited in Albania, but the road to get here was a little frustration but everything else was great.

I don't like sandy beaches however comparing with other sandy beaches in Albania I have been, this one is perfect. I like that it is not desert, there were many trees, not so crowded. Sunbeds 500 lek. Restaurant on the beach tasty and prices are standard ))

One of the most beautiful beach in Albania. Is a very worthy to visit this place. But the roads to go there isn’t good. There are several restaurants and coffee for passing time with your dear ones.

it is one of the very few beaches in Albanian Adriatic cost that I would go. however the road to get there remains bad most of its length. it is in some parts very dusty. it is interesting to drive up the hills near the seaside and perhaps buy some fresh vegetables or fruits from people in the street by their house door.

Amazing ! 😍

Amazing landscape and spectacular view, quiet and relaxing, great place to visit. Highly recommended ❤️?????

One of the best beaches in Albania??

Love it

Beautiful beach ⛱️, 30 min far from national road.

Wonderful beach!! We enjoyed the sun the sea and all the calm and relaxation that this place offers you.

Super

Very good, the road to go there is to be improved

Absolutely stunning beach with crystal-clear waters and soft, powdery sand. The scenery is breathtaking, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and sunbathing. The only drawback is the road leading to the beach, which could use some improvement. Despite the bumpy ride, the destination is worth every bit of the journey. Just remember to brace yourself for a slightly rough drive!

very nice beach, different from the other near-by beaches. clean and very family-friendly

Nice beach, with a nice bar above the water and a good restaurant. There are bungalows and a camping nearby. The road to it is partly bad.

This is a amaizing place for holidays.Its so qiute and so relaxing here

If you want beach with few people.. if you like loneliness, then its OK to go - beach is fine, clean and with parking. Good prices. But it doesnt make sense to go there as road is very long and dificult. I saw even one car who need to change tyre as they puncture it. I was afraid of that when returning back from beach to hotel. There are many beaches around which you can visit with less effort. But there is nothing bad with this beach. Its nice because of staff, palms, flowers and calmness.

Natural place. Too expensive for the service level they do offer.

Fairy good place to go with your family, just mind the long dirt road till you reach the spot. Inexpensive food is at hands reach and quite safe for family settings, not that bad if you want to distance yourselves from the masses.

Wonderful beach!

(Translated by Google) Very beautifull (Original) Bellissimo

It is worth visiting. There is self-service tradition food. There is good restaurant with excellent coffee. The road till there is not so good but is rrual area and virgin nature. About 30 min from main road Durrës-Vlorë.

Unlike to many sand beaches in Albania, this one is clean with crystal water. There’s a small cafe here. I went there with wife and small kids and enjoyed it very much.

Very bad road to the beach, too much effort for too common beach, not worth it.

It was great, the facilities were good water was crystal clear. You can take your own umbrella or camping tent.

Very nice beach, but the road was terrible 😔

Peaceful, almost virgin and very beautiful! Like it so much!

(Translated by Google) Super beautiful crystal clear sandy beach. I can only recommend it. (Original) Super schöner Glasklarer Sandstrand. Nur zu Empfehlen.

Fantastic place but “NEVER EVER ORDER AT THE RESTAURANT”.

The best place where is sand and rocks

All you need to know is that this place is amazing

It was better when it was unexplored by the masses but anws still counts as good

Like a dream

Wonderful place & beach!

Ok

Wonderfull place to enjoy a relaxing and wonderfull place . A hidden treasure!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and immense beach. The sea may not be the best only if the day is very windy. It is worthwhile, however, to face a journey through the various villages that must pass to reach it! (Original) Bellissima ed immensa spiaggia. Il mare può non essere il massimo solo se la giornata è molto molto ventilata. Vale la pena però affrontare un viaggio tra i vari villaggi che bisogna passare per raggiungerla!

A brilliant place, a must visit. Road to the place needs upgrading, otherwiae, amazing landscape. Highly recommend for enduro riders, enjoy :-)
