Top Beaches in Albania

For a chill day, look for the little coves along the beach. They're less crowded, and it feels like your own private paradise. Just be careful with the rocks!

I think the best time to hit the beach is around 4 PM when the crowds start to thin out, and you can snag a good spot by the water without the rush.

If you're looking for a sunbed, go early, like around 9 AM. The best spots fill up fast, and it's way more comfortable to lounge than on the sand.

Try to visit during the weekdays instead of weekends. It gets much less crowded and you'll have a better chance to find a nice spot to relax.

don't skip the sunset! make sure you stick around for it—it's absolutely stunning and worth the late evening stay.

Definitely arrive before 10 AM if you want to snag a good spot on the sand. By noon, the place fills up quickly and it can get packed!

Bring your own snacks and drinks; the beachside cafes can be a bit pricey. I spent way more than I planned just for a couple of drinks!

I suggest you bring your own snacks and drinks. The beach can get pricey, and I ended up spending more than I thought just to grab a drink. Plus, you'll save a ton of time not waiting in line for overpriced stuff.

My advice is to bring your own beach umbrella if you can. The sun can be intense and renting one at the beach can really add up. Plus you might have a better spot with your own gear.

For food, avoid the beachside restaurants; they are a bit pricey. I suggest heading into the nearby village for some authentic Albanian meals that are way more affordable and super tasty!

I recommend getting to the beach around 10 AM to snag a good spot before it gets crowded. Trust me, it fills up fast and you don’t wanna be left looking for a shady place later.
