I really enjoyed this beach - it's one of my favorites. The water is crystal clear, the beach isn't too crowded, and the sandy beaches offer amazing views. I'm definitely planning on coming back!

The Albanian Riviera boasts one of its best gems - a breathtakingly beautiful beach that is perfect for a quiet and relaxing vacation. Although the road leading to the beach is a bit rough, it is still manageable with a slow drive of approximately 20 minutes from the nearest highway. The mountain views along the way are stunning and will definitely take your breath away. There are two restaurants on the beach, one of which serves mostly traditional food until 5PM, while the other offers breakfast and dinner. The staff at both restaurants are respectful, friendly, and helpful. The accommodations are located perfectly in the shadows of the mountains and provide an amazing evening or morning panorama of the sea. While some of the cabins seemed to be newly made, I stayed in one of the older cabins that was a bit outdated but still met all the criteria for a comfortable stay. The beach itself is one of the cleanest and most crystal-clear water beaches I have ever seen. The umbrellas are nicely arranged and

The beach is absolutely wonderful! We had a great time soaking up the sun and swimming in the sea. The atmosphere was incredibly peaceful and relaxing. Plus, the golden sand added to the overall beauty of the beach.

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.
