ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE
The main beach is the town’s front room: a broad white-sand arc with the islands in frame, shallow entry, water like glass and every service a beach day needs — sunbeds, bars, pedalos, ice cream. Around the southern headland, a chain of smaller bays — Poda, Pulebardha, Manastir — repeats the formula with fewer people and wilder frames. This is the easiest water on the Riviera for children and the most photogenic for everyone else.

FOOD & DRINK
Where to eat nearby
Grill houses and fish tavernas on the main strip — the town’s consensus tables (Grill Zone, WG, Basilico) serve the daily catch at every price.
Lagoon-mussel tavernas and traditional kitchens — Butrint mussels, lakror and slow family cooking a street back from the beach.
HOTELS & STAYS
Where to stay nearby
Beachfront hotels and boutique stays around the main bay — sea-view balconies and the islands at the window.
Family hotels and apartments in the quiet streets behind the strip — better value, five minutes to the sand.
