Water is really clean, not crowded. There a lot rooks under water so need to be careful, it’s better to walk into water from left side of the beach

2 sunbeds for 1000 lek, nice clear water and showers available. No pushy sales tactics. If you are at the front (like us), you can hear music.

Very nice place, but I recommend paying by card. I paid in euros and they charged me almost double. They're also very aggressive if you don't get an umbrella... too bad.
