    Not a positive experience. The water was not transparent as pictures suggest, renting a beach bed and umbrella was overcharged and disconnected with the living costs in Albania; no shower in many places to rinse the sand, and no free beaches as the area is taken by resorts. I ended up enjoying a day pass in a nearby resort pool for €7 with a bed and umbrella (no towel). Eating nearby was also a negative experience, with food overpriced and not authentic.

    Beach is huge and sandy, sand in water too. Water is muddy and unclear. Very shallow beach, not good for swimmers, you have to go far for 2m depth. Good for kids and ppl who haven't seen better. I loved the big forested area next to beach.

    Every inch of the beach is covered with umbrellas so you literaly have to pay to be at the beach. And when you do you realise you can't enjoy the water because it is always murky and you can't swim because sea weed and even garbage float everywhere around you. The waves bring the sea weed to the coast where it rots and creates an unpleasent smell, nobody cleans this. The sandy beach also servs as a garbage can because it is covered with used cigarettes and other stuff. On top of that every single day of our stay we were stung by a jellyfish at least once. Albania has its nice sides but beaches are not one of it.

    (Translated by Google) We flew to Durres on July 2. Sandy beach + waves = visually dirty. But if you go deeper, then very clean water Video from the beach the other day lay on his channel Monica cat (Original) Прилетели в Дуррес 2 июля. Пляж песчаный+ волны= визуально грязный. Но если зайти поглубже,то очень даже чистая водичка Видео с пляжа на днях выложу на своём канале Monica cat

    This overcrowded beach may be fine without the umbrellas forest and thousands on sun beds that literally cover every patch of sand . Also the water is too muddy and littering should be addressed to more seriously. One owner tried to get 1000 lek (10 dollars) from me for two sundbeds and an umbrella “like in Greece “ . I replied that was not Greece. Overall not my thing

    (Translated by Google) Arenile very broad, dark and fine sand, shallow sea. But the water is dirty, the plants are decrepit and there's lots of people. Depressing. (Original) Arenile molto ampio, sabbia scura e finissima, mare poco profondo. Ma l'acqua è sporca, gli stabilimenti sono decrepiti e c'è tantissima gente. Deprimente.

    (Translated by Google) Whatever, the sea would be nice, even the waves, the weather at the end of June fantastic, all it spoils is dirt. The locals do not break their heads with hygiene and nobody cleans the beaches. Damage! (Original) Copak o to, moře by bylo fajn, docela i vlny, počasí na konec června fantastické, jediné co to kazí je špína. Místní si s hygienou moc hlavu nelámou a pláže nikdo neuklízí. Škoda!

  • 3/5 Zbigniew M. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The beaches under the care of the mansion are kept clean, but outside of them there is a lot of civilization trash. In addition, a wide and sandy beach and very warm sea with clean water. Sunbeds and umbrellas for clients of the residence free. At the end of the season, not many sunbathers. Of course, every 100-200 m bunker (Original) Plaże pod opieką rezydencji są utrzymywane w czystości, lecz poza nimi jest mnóstwo cywilizacyjnych śmieci. Poza tym szeroka i piaszczysta plaża i bardzo ciepłe morze z czystą wodą. Leżaki i parasole dla klientów rezydencji bezpłatne. Przy końcu sezonu niedużo plażowiczów. Oczywiście co 100-200 m bunkier😊

  • 5/5 Марина �. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) a stunning beach with little or no civilization with non-speaking Albanians, but for those in the subject, this is Palanga with a warm sea, dudes standing along the roads - traders of grass (Original) потрясающий пляж практически без цивилизации с неговорящими ни на каком албанцами, но для тех, кто в теме, это Паланга с теплым морем, чуваки, стоящие вдоль дорог - торговцы травой

  • 3/5 Tadas T. 1 year ago on Google
    We were on the very end of the beach, there is no hotels anymore. The sand was average, bunkers leftovers in the beach does not create superb emotions. There was a lot of jellyfishes in the water and on the shore in the end of July. Water was quite dirty near the shore. You should go quite deep to find more clear water. The sunbeds were very cheap.

    These coast part of Adriatic is very beautiful. I would recommend to all tourists to visit it especially during spring time starting from April as the temperatures in Albania are quite ok and the place is very nice. In this part of Albanian coast you will found lots of restaurants, bars and especially great sea food places. Also why not you can visit from September to beginning of November as the temperatures in Albania are ok during that period too. And in these suggested periods also the hotels are cheaper and calmer as the whole zone. The beach zone is relatively safe for children to swim even-though don’t see sea guards around. If you want to go to good restaurants here there are some suggestions: Tirana resto, Bleart (a bit expensive), Gerti, Mesdheu Pizza, Belvedere, Colosseum, etc. Why not you can ask local people for recommendations as they are kind ones.

    Local Beach Better Than Durres Beach, Has Old Look Out Posts From The Ember Hoxha Era On The Beach I Would Recommend Again It's Very Local Parking Free

  • 4/5 Albi H. 9 months ago on Google
    Everything is cool there, the hotels, the service, the reason i give 4 stars is the beach.. comparing to other Albanian beaches like vlora, himare, saranda, this one is not in the same level. But everything else is great, so you could use the pool of the hotel.

    I live near this beach and walk there nearly every day. The water is beautiful and changes color reflecting it's moods. Sometimes it's as calm as a still lake and at other times can be a little choppy, but always the color is mesmerizing.

  • 4/5 Marcin K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The beach is fine, the prices of sunbeds are acceptable, you can even say that it is relatively low, but unfortunately the sand is dirty and there is a lot of rubbish around, even though quite a lot of rubbish bins have been placed on the beach. (Original) Plaża w porządku, ceny leżaków akceptowalne, można nawet powiedzieć, że relatywnie niskie, tylko niestety piasek brudny i dookoła pełno śmieci, nawet pomimo tego że na plaży poustawiano całkiem dużo koszy na śmieci.

  • 4/5 Marsida C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful extended beaches where you can take long walks along the sea. Fine sand and many hotels with excellent service and swimming pool. The sea is not crystalline, a classic Adriatic sea that also bathes the coasts of Italy but all in all clean. For a relaxing holiday it is a nice place. Don't expect the crystal clear sea though. You can enjoy the beautiful sunsets. (Original) Belle spiagge estese dove puoi fare delle lunghe passeggiate lungo mare. Sabbia fine e tantissimi hotel dotati di ottimo servizio e piscina. Il mare non è cristallino, classico mare Adriatico che bagna anche le coste dell'Italia però tutto sommato pulito. Per una vacanza di puro relax è un bel posto. Non vi aspettate il mare cristallino però. Potete godere i bellissimi tramonti.
