We have already marked the top 10 beaches on the map to give you an initial overview. Here you can find useful information about the individual beaches in the Balkan country, as we work our way from the north to the south and pass the ten most beautiful beaches in Albania on our trip!
The seaside resorts and their dream beaches, which we are about to introduce to you in more detail, are located on the Ionian Sea or on the Adriatic coast and promise perfect conditions for swimming, sunbathing and relaxing. So if you want to soak up the sun while visiting the country’s impressive sights – such as Vlora, Himara, the UNESCO World Heritage city of Gjirokaster or the ruined city of Butrint – these beaches are just the place for you.
Albania has mostly white pebble beaches, which is why you should definitely pack bathing shoes in your suitcase before travelling. And although sandy beaches are a rarity in Albania, we have of course also found some real gems of sand for you, where you can build metre-high castles and walk barefoot through the water.

The high season for a holiday in Albania is July and August. However, we recommend that you switch to the low season. Not only will you save money on your accommodation, but you’ll also avoid the biggest crowds on the beaches. The best weather for swimming in Albania is in the summer months from June to September!

Durres Beach
The northernmost beach in the Balkan state of Albania that we present to you is the popular Durres Beach in the harbour town of the same name. The beach in the country’s second-largest city is almost never crowded due to its considerable size and is perfect for switching off from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Find a tranquil spot to linger and look forward to relaxing hours on the outskirts of the metropolis. If you are travelling by car, there are parking spaces available directly on the beach.
