21 to choose from
21 places, in driving order from north to south
Seman Beach
Fier's home beach — a long sweep of sand backed by pines, warm shallow water and fish restaurants at the end of a straight road across the plain.
Darëzezë Beach
A long, quiet stretch of soft sand on the Adriatic, shallow enough for small children and wide enough to find your own space.
Pishë Poro & the Vjosa Delta
Where one of Europe's last wild rivers meets the sea — pine forest, dunes, lagoons with flamingos, and a long, wild beach.
Vlorë Beach
The Riviera starts in a real city — beaches with every amenity, a palm-lined promenade, and history on every corner.
Radhimë Beach
A string of calm pebble coves and family resorts on the quiet side of Vlorë Bay — famous locally for its fish tavernas.
Orikum Beach
A long beach at the foot of the mountains, Albania's first marina, and an ancient Greek city hiding at the edge of town.
Karaburun Peninsula
A wild, roadless peninsula of sea caves, white hidden beaches and ancient inscriptions — the Riviera's greatest adventure.
Palasë Beach
The first beach after the mountain descent — a long sweep of white pebbles, paraglider landings and the clearest water around.
Dhërmi & Drymades
Beach bars, summer festivals and a stone village on the hillside — with calmer Drymades waiting around the headland.
Gjipe Beach
The Riviera's worst-kept secret that still feels secret — a canyon-mouth beach you can only reach on foot or by sea.
Jale Beach
A compact turquoise bay of beach clubs and summer energy — loudest by day, surprisingly swimmable at dawn.
Livadhi Beach
A wide, generous bay of tavernas, olive groves and easy days — the most settle-in-able beach on the Riviera.
Himarë
A seafront promenade, a castle above, a harbour of waiting boats — the best base for exploring the whole coast.
Potami Beach
Himarë's quieter beach — smooth pebbles, remarkably clear water and the lights of town across the bay at sunset.
Qeparo Beach
A relaxed pebble shore beneath one of the coast's most beautiful stone villages — with a fortress bay just down the road.
Borsh Beach
Seven kilometres of shoreline fed by mountain springs, backed by Albania's largest olive grove — room for absolutely everyone.
Lukovë, Bunec & Krorëz
The beaches the crowds haven't found — a hillside village, a perfect double cove, and a boat-only bay of glass-clear water.
Krorëz Bay (Kakome)
No road, no resorts, no noise — a bay of fine pale pebbles and glass-clear water that you can only reach by sea.
Ksamil Beach
White sand, swim-to islands and Caribbean-blue shallows — Albania's postcard, with a UNESCO wonder ten minutes away.
The Ksamil Islands
Four small islands close enough to swim to, with water between them in the shades of blue that made Ksamil famous.
No places match those filters.
