Latest reviews on Durrës's beaches

Portez Beach
8 Kira Evans

We were a bit taken aback when we drove from Durres and had to pass through an industrial area, onto a rough road with the sea on one side and a marshy marshland on the other. We almost considered turning back, but luckily we decided to continue until the road's end. At that point, we discovered a parking area and as we ascended the hill and reached the summit, a stunning beach came into view. It was not overly crowded and we managed to find sunbeds right at the water's edge. It was a small, hidden treasure and definitely worth visiting.

Durres beach II
10 Lara Rodriguez Gomez

We decided to visit the beach after finding out that the restaurant was closed. It was definitely worth it! We had a great time here. The water was peaceful and transparent, and the beach was exceptionally clean. Since it's a private beach, we had to pay 5000lek per person for a hammock, and it wasn't allowed to simply lay on the sand. However, it was still worth it! We thoroughly enjoyed the scenic walk from Durrës, surrounded by beautiful nature.

We had an amazing day at the beach at this place. Our waiter at the downtown restaurant the night before suggested it, so we decided to drive out there for a beach day. The location is really unique and charming, with lounges and umbrellas right on the beach, as well as a small private pier next to it. We enjoyed some delicious chilled white wine, a salad that we added our own tomatoes to, and some gin and tonics. The owners were incredibly friendly, the food was made to order and very fresh. The prices were a bit higher, but when you combine that with the relaxed atmosphere, this place is unbeatable. It was definitely worth it. We were so relaxed that we even took a nap on the lounges... It's true that the beach has rocks, but I brought my river rafting shoes, so it wasn't a problem for me at all. If you're looking for a relaxing day at a private beach with table service, I highly recommend this place. It's been over a month since we went there, and we're still talking about it.

Qarku i Durresit beach
10 Kellan Jansen

We used to visit this beach multiple times in the past, many years ago. During that time, the parking was free and the beach was exceptionally clean. We would bring our own sandwiches and drinks. However, I've heard that it is now filled with garbage. Hopefully, the Albanian authorities will take action to address this issue. This beach is truly a gem of the Adriatic.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 10 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
