Gjipe Beach

The beach is great and clean but the road down to it is very challenging. If you don't have an off road car, you have to walk to get to the beach and park the car at the parking on the hill. If you have an off road car, note that the road has a lot of stones and no side protection barriers. It's very difficult when 2 cars are exchanged because the road is narrow. The canyon is an extra beauty added.

A car journey not for the faint hearted or those worried to get into a scrape. It a single lane 2-3km with high kerbs and just a few passing places. It’s then a 30 min 1km hike from the car park. Pretty beach, less commercialised and beautiful canyon behind. Nice vibe from the tented camping community.

Nice pebble beach. Still keeps a kind of authrntic feel, not too touristy. Other beaches we saw were full of umbrellas and sunbeds. This one was more wild. Accessible only by foot or 4WD via a very rocky road. Trainers are recommended. Especially if you take a short hike to the Gjipe Gorge. You can always find a shady spot. Better to arrive early in the morning g before the crowd comes. Water is clean and colour is just mesmerising and so turquoise. Loved it. There are few restaurants there and a campsite.

Just a wonderful place. Crystal clear water and breathtaking views. A little difficult to get to (you have to walk about 30 minutes on a rocky road and the scorching sun). It is very crowded in the season but there is plenty of space if you arrive in the morning. There is a bar on the beach. Before the descent there is a large paid parking lot where you can leave your car.

The road to get here fits one car only so you need good driving skills, the parking is around 4/5€, mostly in the sun. You need hike down 20/30 minutes max to a beach with what I believe is illegal umbrellas placed by clandestine people, most of them at least. Dont pay more than 10€ for an umbrella. If you arrive early in the morning and dont plan staying long, on the other side of the beach from where you come down there is a rocky cliffside with places where you can stay in the shade (like caves) but it is protected from the sun only until the evening. there is only one good restaurant and it is the very small one as soon as you come down with only a few tables, the others are horrible and overpriced. Definetly visit the canyon, must have shoes, a lot of climbing if you want to go all the way, takes skill and training. Good luck

While it's certainly beautiful and quite unique naturewise, the quantity of people there during summer is ridiculous. The beach itself is public though you can rent sunbeds etc. It's super crowded, people partying with loud music, and party boats passing by. Heaps of aggressive wasps and rubbish. Parking is chaotic and private (4€-8€ for a car), and the narrow access road makes getting there or leaving almost impossible during rush hour. Keep in mind that you'll have to walk 20min downhill to get there.

Quite a nice beach with several bars and a camping. Sunbeds and umbrellas available. Gjipe canyon, which leads to this beach, is beautiful and worth a hike (with good shoes)

From the parkingspot its approx 20-30 min walk to a beautiful beach. You will not regret it and while there take a dive in the amazing ocean. Take plenty water with you because you dont want to get dehydrated. At the beach there is a shop where you can buy drinks and stuff. For some people good shoes with grip might be advised because the walk could get rough. Enjoy this pearl in Albania!
