Хороший пляж, отдыхали в июне, мало людей, море чистое. Впечатление испортил только рыбак который каждый день приходил купаться и ловить рыбу. Он располагался прямо посредине набережной и сетью ловил рыбу, которую потом просто выбрасывал посреди пляжа, рядом с людьми, которые загорали в это время и собирал в пакет. НО это еще цветочки, в один прекрасный солнечный день этот чудо- рыбак выловил ОСЬМИНОГА, красивенного, здоровенного! Взрослые и дети прибежали к нему и начали с любопытством наблюдать за осьминогом, как он ползал по цилиндрической конструкции, ища выход, что бы выбраться на волю. Но все вокруг веселились, фотографировали, одной женщине видимо стало его жалко и она его поливала водичкой, пытаясь увлажнить и освежить. Все думали что рыбак его выпустит в море или просто унесет с собой, но рыбак же в свою очередь не особо был доволен таким вниманием к его персоне, впрочем он каждый день был такой. Он начал вытаскивать осьминога с сети, осьминог обволок его руку своими щупальцами, а рыбак схватил его за голову и куда-то понес. Все отдыхающие на пляже с интересом и улыбками на лицах смотрели за рыбаком, а тот поднес осьминога к бетонной плите и со всей силы начал быть осьминога о плиты. Веселье публики резко прекратилось и на пляже наступила гробовая тишина. Шок от увиденного получили все, кто-то плакал, кто-то просто сидел грустный. Вот такое «представление» устроил этот рыбак… Все мы понимаем что в принципе в соседних ресторанчиках многие с расстроившихся людей с набережной уже вечером будут спокойно угощаться такими же осьминогами и другими морскими обитателями не задумываясь как их ловили и убивали что бы приготовить вкусные морские деликатесы. НО наблюдать это каждый день на общественном пляже, где так безжалостно расправляются с морскими жителями на мой взгляд просто не нормально. На набережной полно мест, где можно спокойно ловить рыбу и не только, вдали от толпы людей!

Wether it’s chilling out by the beautiful Adriatic Sea, exploring the local markets or chilling out at any of the local bars, the city of Sarande will steal your heart. The locals are super sweet & love a chat, the food is delicious and generously made. The local bars make great cocktails and are very welcoming. The water is crystal clear and there are diving boards that open onto the water for endless fun. I was blown away by the local culture of easiness and friendship with one another. I will definitely be back in the future and encourage people to make the trip down to the southern Albanian riviera❤️

Saranda beach is unspoilt by European standards. However the place itself of course needs to be improved , I love it with all even with its issues. Different parts of the beach have the waves and not. So depending on if you have kids etc. the chairs and umbrellas are 15 euros. And we’re almost taken up. Apparently not as many tourists as last year. As the prices have gone up significantly this summer. I come for the crystal clear water. Ps bring reef shoes as there is no sand but pebbles.

One of the best beach experiences in Europe. The beaches of Sarandë, Albania have been an amazing surprise. I had seen photos for years and wanted so hard to experience them for myself. Well worth the wait. Play is turquoise water during the day and eat fabulous food at any of the restaurants. So, so good. It’s definitely crowded in august but there are plenty of beaches to choose from. The only downside would be driving around. The roads are abysmal and the locals drive with no rules.

Convenient beach location. There are many cafes and restaurants nearby. An excellent promenade along which you can comfortably walk at any time of the day. Of the minuses, the coastline is rather dirty, there is a lot of garbage on the pebble beach, which is poorly cleaned, dogs are often bathed, fishermen catch fish and leave a lot of garbage behind. Sometimes gypsies come and ask for money, pester people, I think that the police should look after this!!!
