User reviews
"In order to reach the beach, you must navigate a winding path, but the effort is worthwhile.
The beach itself is serene, with a sparse crowd and pristine, transparent water.
The only downside is that the public section at the far end of the beach is unfortunately littered with trash and debris."
Nalani
"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."
