Plazhi i Velipojes, Sandy beach in Velipoje, Albania.
Plazhi i Velipojes is a beach on Albania's Adriatic coastline with brown sand and gentle, shallow waters. The shoreline stretches for several kilometers and offers good swimming conditions for visitors of all levels.
The beach developed as a tourist destination only in recent decades after the small coastal village began attracting visitors. This shift transformed it from a quiet fishing community into a popular holiday spot in northern Albania.
Local restaurants along the beachfront serve traditional Albanian seafood dishes, reflecting the fishing heritage of the coastal community.
Visitors will find toilets, showers, sunbeds, and lifeguards at the beach. Parking areas are located at a short distance from the shore and easy to access.
The beach sits at the mouth of the Buna River where it meets the Adriatic Sea and forms a natural border between Albania and Montenegro. This geographical feature gives the location a distinctive position between two countries.
