Why we like it
We appreciate Beach of Durrës for its practicality and accessibility. It's not a hidden cove or pristine island retreat — it's a working urban beach where you can actually rent a sunbed, grab food from the promenade, and spend an afternoon without fuss. The shallow water is genuine relief for swimmers who don't want to fight the Adriatic, and the promenade gives you options beyond the sand.
