The beaches in Tirana are used mainly by beach clubs (resorts), usually open to everyone but for a fee. These establishments offer a full range of amenities with limited operational hours. At the same time, you can still find a wild beach, use our filter for this.
The beach boasts a stunning stretch of golden, fine sand. We found ourselves at the farthest end of the shoreline, where there were no more hotels in sight.
There is a significant amount of litter scattered across the beach, and the water appears to be a murky brown color.
Upon arrival, I encountered a closed wooden gate labeled as private property. The road leading to the beach was quite lengthy, narrow, bumpy, and covered in dust. Approximately 2 kilometers before reaching the gate, as we followed a canal, an overwhelming stench of a septic tank permeated the air all the way to the entrance. It might be wise to avoid exploring this area.
Although I'm not usually a fan of sandy beaches, I must say that this one stands out among the others I've visited in Albania. The golden sand is simply perfect.
The pristine and picturesque shoreline boasts a remarkable expanse of velvety sand and crystal-clear waters. The beach is immaculately maintained, and its natural beauty is a testament to the care and attention it receives. The tranquil atmosphere is perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun's warm rays, while the gentle waves provide a soothing soundtrack to the idyllic surroundings. Overall, this beach is a true gem, offering a serene and refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Please note that lifeguards supervise 5 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!
