This beach is absolutely stunning, perhaps the most beautiful one I've ever laid eyes on. Don't let the fifteen-minute walk in the sun discourage you, it's well worth it. The crystal-clear water is simply breathtaking, and the limited amount of people make it feel like your own private paradise. As if that wasn't enough, you may even be greeted by friendly goats during your visit. My time here was one of the best memories I have of Albania, and I highly recommend it, especially during the off-season when it's less crowded. This beach is truly a gem that shouldn't be missed. 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🥰🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Nestled in a picturesque cove, this breathtaking beach is just a short 30-minute trek from Livadhi. Upon our arrival at the serene location, we were delighted to find that we had the entire beach to ourselves. The tranquility of the surroundings and the cleanliness of the beach made it a perfect spot for relaxation. We noticed a charming beach shack, which seemed to be open in the afternoons and evenings, adding to the allure of the area. While taking a dip in the crystal-clear waters, we were thrilled to spot some fascinating marine life swimming about. This little gem of a beach is truly a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered.

This beach is quite the spot, with water so clear it could rival a diamond. However, one must beware of the pesky tour boats that come and go, leaving behind a trail of fuel that muddies up the water and ruins any chance of a clear view while diving. It's like trying to watch a movie with Vaseline smeared all over your glasses. But hey, at least the beach itself is cool, right?

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Akuarium beach (Vlore County) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Akuarium beach (Vlore County) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Akuarium beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
