Shengjin Beach

9 Avery

This vibrant and lively beach in the heart of Central Albania is a must-visit destination. A quick and easy 15-minute journey from Lezhë in a public bus or furgon, for no more than 50 lek, will take you to this bustling seaside paradise. Here you will find an array of public deckchairs, showers, and local vendors selling their unique wares. I highly recommend trying the delicious milkshake from the friendly lads on the little yellow vehicle. There are also several reasonably priced restaurants nearby to satisfy your hunger. The water is refreshingly cool and the sand is soft and inviting underfoot, making it the perfect spot for a leisurely swim or people-watching session for a few hours. Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience this lively and exciting beach.
