If this beach is rated #18 in Albania then the others must be heavenly beaches as this is the best beach I have ever visited.

The sandy shores were pleasant enough, but the culinary offerings at the nearby eatery left much to be desired. In fact, it was the most abysmal dining experience we've had thus far in all of Albania.

This stunning beach can only be reached by boat, but the journey is well worth it. The crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea are a sight to behold, with a vibrant array of colors that will leave you in awe. The beach offers comfortable sunbeds, priced at 1000 for two with an umbrella, perfect for soaking up the sun and enjoying the view. If you're in the Vlore region, make sure to add this must-visit destination to your itinerary.

This beach is an absolute gem! You can easily reach it by boat from either Vlora or Orikum. While there may be some noise from a nearby club, the crystal-clear water and stunning scenery more than make up for it. Plus, there are plenty of delicious and affordable dining options available on-site. Overall, this beach is a must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable seaside experience.
