The Best Beaches in Durres: From City Sands to Hidden Gems

Durres offers over 10 kilometers of coastline, meaning there is a beach for every type of traveler. From organized beach clubs to wild, rocky bays, here is where to go.

Durres City Beach: This is the most convenient option, located just a few minutes from Traiano Boutique Hotel. It is a wide, sandy beach with shallow water, making it ideal for families with children. You will find plenty of sunbeds, bars, and water sports here.

Kallmi Beach: If you want to escape the crowds, head to Kallmi. Located behind the hill of Curri, this area is rockier and the water is crystal clear. It is perfect for snorkeling and offers a more "wild" Mediterranean feel.

Gjiri i Lalzit (Lalzi Bay): About 30 minutes north of the city, this is perhaps the most famous beach in the region. Surrounded by a dense belt of pine trees, it offers clean air and a more upscale beach club experience.

General’s Beach (Plazhi i Gjeneralit): A bit further south, this hidden gem is famous for its unique shape and emerald waters. It is one of the most romantic spots in Albania, perfect for couples looking for tranquility.
