Part 5/8:
Discovering the Beaches and Boardwalks
Durrës's beach scene is multifaceted, with a boardwalk lined with upscale shops and eateries offering stunning views of the Adriatic Sea. During our visit, we noted that the actual beach was less than ideal—narrow and rocky—likely due to the off-season conditions. The summer months might transform the beach into a popular spot for sunbathers and families, but visiting during early spring showed us a quieter side of the city.
For a wider and more appealing beach area, we discovered that heading south of the port would lead us to Durrës Beach, which is lined with more family-friendly amenities, restaurants, and local activities.
