There is no free beach in whole Sarandë. When you don't want to buy sunbed, you are kicked out. Sometimes you need to buy entrance to the beach. And of course to buy sunbed.

This beach was great for me because there is no loud crappy music, so you can relax hearing the sea waves. The beach is rather clean, comparing to others. Each umbrella has a bucket with sand as an ashtray. It also has a garbage bin near the exit so that as a civilized person that you are, you can clean your trash after yourself. One minus is that the beach area is rather small, so it can be crowded when you’re in the water, but it was acceptable for me. We paid 20 euros/umbrella.

Nice beach, but you can't bring your own food and drinks, the beach is full of cigarette butts, I recommend walking down the very small pebbles. 😀
