Best places: Beaches in Southern Albania

😠 Beautiful landscape, but for beaching is wrong choice. Not good for families. Cool and expensive. Boastful guys working in bars... People who work in catering much more modest and friendly in Vlora and Durres. On the beach is not sand, there are only stones, you can't walk on them, you can't go into...

👍👍 Good and a large beach here. This is one of the most beautiful beaches along the Himara stretch. Olive groves surround the beach and town, giving them a wonderful appearance. The water is turquoise blue and quite warm, which make it great for swimming. This beach is not always crowded, so it’s perfe...

Coastal strip dotted with thatched umbrellas, resorts & beach bars, known for its clear waters.

Untouched stretch of white sandy beach backed by rolling hills with boulders & clear azure waters.

👍👍 Very nice small beach, only a five minute drive from Ksamil. Google Maps will send you the wrong way. Instead, drive to 'local fish market' and follow the signs from there. The water is beautiful and quiet. The two platforms in the water, from which you can dive or jump in, are a nice bonus. We went...

😠 We returned to Ksamil after 5 years to find a completely changed place. The beach is covered in poorly built and ugly platforms serving as extra space for the closely packed sunbeds and chairs (literally 40 cm apart tops), the water is litered with floating castles, boats and stinky water jets. Ever...

😐 It's nice place but not worth paying 1500lek for sunbed with umbrella especially when they don't allow you to bring any drinks or food with you! It should be like in other countries where if you buying drinks and food from restaurant sunbeds are free

👍👍 It is a lovely beach in Ksamil. Beautiful turquoise and blue water and peeble beach. In the morning the water is really calm and clear and it is not crowded. In the afternoon the water is not that clear but it is still nice. There is free parking on the hill near the trees as you arrive and from the...

Small cove with a sandy beach, shallow waters, sun lounges to rent & a restaurant serving snacks.

👍👍 Very beautiful beach, little hard to reach with a car because of the road - going down to the beach is not a problem, but going back up is. You need to pay 500LEK for the deckchairs (two) and parasol or you can not enter the beach. (We went on Sunday and it was 1000LEK)

😠 The most beautiful beach that I saw so far in Albania - thats why I give 1 star. However the access is horrible. Not recommended for old people or people with health isssues! The second you get there they will ask you if you need umbrella, we said no. So they told us that public beach is next to it....

Pebble beach backed by cliffs & known for its turquoise water, with sun loungers & a restaurant.

👍👍 Don’t stay at the first beach club when you go to the beach!! It’s expensive and sun beds are uncomfortable. Walk on the beach a little bit further, you will find a nice place with comfortable sun beds and costs only 500lek. See pic.

👍 Very long and wide sand beach. You can park for free next to the beach. There is a lot of bars. Sea is shallow, nice for children, and water is warm.

👍👍 The beach is temporarily closed and can only be accessed through a construction site, which makes it drastically less visited than usual. The restaurant is closed and only the occasional and deserted sunbeds and umbrellas imply the former setting. Although without amenities, the beach is child-frie...

Scenic stretch of sandy beach for sunbathing & swimming, with an oceanfront restaurant.

👍👍 Sarandë is a coastal town in Albania. Geographically, it is situated on an open sea gulf of the Ionian Sea in the central Mediterranean, about 14 km (8.7 mi) east of the northern end of the island of Corfu. Stretching along the Albanian Ionian Sea Coast, Saranda typically has over 300 sunny days a y...

👍👍 We spent three weeks in Himare and spent time here every day. It’s a laid back, family friendly beach with great water for swimming. Never once during our time there did we feel crowded, nor did we feel any sense of insecurity of any kind. There are two super friendly guys there who rent kayaks (on...

👍👍 Kind staff, good service 😍and delicious foods 🥰

👍👍 Lovely beach in the south of Albania! The road to get here is not paved and a bit bumpy, but if you drive slowly it is definitely doable. You can park the car for free at the bottom or somewhere halfway. There is a restaurant at the beach, if you order some food & drinks here you can take one of th...
