We drive past this beach every day, and it's always packed with cars. Curiosity got the better of us, and we parked on the side of the road. We went up because the direct road to the beach was blocked by a gate, large-scale work was being carried out in the area, a mini-town was being built. It turned out that if you go up, there was no other way to find the beach (((( You can't get to the sea. Not only is the entrance closed, but there are dump trucks on the shore. And judging by the color of the turbulent water, they were dumping that white fine sand from the Albanian Maldives. In short, the beach is being taken over at full speed. Everything is for the people......

Inaccessible beach? Construction of a hotel complex has privatized the entire area! It's a 20-minute walk through the middle of the construction site, and they charge €30 to get in. Like everywhere in Albania, it's full of trash. What a shame.

This beach is beautifully situated, surrounded by hills and nature, and the views are stunning! However, like most beaches in the area, it's a bit rocky and might not be to everyone's taste, especially if you're looking for soft sand.

All beaches in Ksamil are crowded. But this beach, with its nature, its road (which is asphalt), its prices for sunbeds and umbrellas (200 lek, 50 CC Kaon beer 1500 lek (we haven't seen any lower prices), its order despite being crowded, and of course its magnificent clear water (in Ksamil city center, they poured something like white concrete into the water and the beach to make the water and beach look white), was a truly wonderful experience. Those staying in Ksamil for 3 days shouldn't look for another beach; it's a waste of time.

Monastir Beach, a naturally beautiful place lined with cliffs, is less crowded than Ksamile, and is quiet. The water is incredibly clean and clear, and it underwent renovations this year, so I hope they don't spoil its beauty.
