The Beach of Durrës is a coastal haven that beautifully complements the vibrant city. With its long stretch of golden sand along the Adriatic Sea, it's a sun-soaked destination for beach lovers and water enthusiasts. The beach exudes a lively atmosphere, with beachfront cafes, water sports, and entertainment options, making it perfect for both relaxation and adventure. The clear blue waters provide a refreshing respite from the sun, and the picturesque sunsets over the sea offer a serene way to end the day. Durrës Beach is a must-visit spot for locals and tourists alike, creating a harmonious blend of seaside enjoyment and city life that captures the essence of this coastal gem in Albania.

Very dirty beach and crowded, most of the people leave their dirt and garbage on the beach which could be avoided if they put some bins around the coastline. Because if you can’t put your garbage out then you most likely leave it behind (we brought ours back to our hotel but I cam understand why others don’t). You can rent two sunbeds with an umbrella for 500-1000 lek for a day which I think reasonable. There are a lot of options for restaurants and cocktail bars. The water is not so clean mostly because it’s a sandy beach and crowded. The water is refreshing, very shallow and rise very slowly but it’s great for families with children! I hope the renovate this side of Albania like they did to Vlore😉

Didn't set foot in the water at all, it's dirty with black oil deposit, beach is dirty with plastic bottles, trash and cigarette butts etc... Broken side walk, hotel is over priced during July/August considering overall condition of the beach. Beach is very small with millions of sun beds, over built and broken... Taxi is outrageous, 15.0euro for 3kms, some restaurants are okay but other fast food stores just try to rip you off, 200leke for very small portion of fries etc... Enough said... after been traveling in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Croatia etc... The beach in Durres is not the one that I will come the second time for sure.

In my opinion, this beach is iconic and definitely worth a visit, but not for swimming. The scenery is stunning, with vibrant colors that create a picturesque backdrop. However, the sheer number of umbrellas and crowds makes it almost impossible to see the sea or sky. The water itself doesn’t appear very clear, likely due to the overwhelming number of people. The nearby restaurants are overly touristy, serving mediocre food, and the constant noise everywhere detracts from the experience. While it’s a beautiful spot to take in the view, it’s not the ideal place for a relaxing day by the water.

Hier gibt es am gesamten Stadtstrand Sand. Das Meer ist sehr flach abfallend, das heißt, man kann sehr weit ins Meer laufen. Dadurch ist das Wasser auch sehr warm und leider wenig Abkühlung. Zwischen Sandstrand und Hotels verläuft eine Strandpromenade mit (fast durchgängig) befestigtem Geh- und Radweg. Viele Restaurants und Bars sowie einige Verkaufsständige. Hier und da einige Bau-Ruinen, wo sich scheinbar seit Jahren nichts getan hat. Das Bild des Strandes ist etwas getrübt, da fast jeder Meter mit Liegen und Sonnenschirmen der Hotels belegt ist, quasi ein Meer aus bunten Sonnenliegen. Tagsüber kommen alle paar Minuten Wagen vorbei, welche Eis, Schwimmringe usw. verkaufen wollen. Manchmal kommen Verkäufer mit Obst, Sonnencreme oder Kleidung bis an die Liege und sprechen direkt an, was ich als sehr nervig empfand. Mein größter Kritikpunkt ist der Müll. Es gibt KEINE öffentlichen Mülleimer! Auch die Hotel-Abschnitte verfügen über fast keine Müllbehälter. Und so sieht es dort zu fortgeschrittener Tageszeit auch aus… Zigarettenstummel, Obstkerne, leere Plastikflaschen und Plastikbeutel schmücken nicht nur den Sand, sondern schwimmen auch im Meer. Es ist wirklich eine Schande, wie man hier mit der Umwelt umgeht.
