Beach overall scores
Durres Beach (Durrës) is located outside the Spitalle settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Durres Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"The food at the beach was absolutely delicious. The fish was fresh and expertly prepared. The grill used was an ember grill, which added a delightful flavor to the food. The grilled vegetable salad and potatoes were outstanding. I highly recommend this place for its beautiful beach, amazing food, and friendly service."

"The beach is a bit far from Durres, but if you're looking for a quieter beach, this one is really good.
The owner is nice and takes good care of the guests.
The food is incredibly delicious.
We had two fishes, shrimps, Greek salad, grilled cheese, and one water, and we paid 8000lek (78 euro) - the prices are a bit high for Albania."
