Jala Beach, Coastal beach in Vlorë County, Albania
Jala Beach forms a half-moon shaped bay surrounded by mountains, with clear waters reflecting intense blue shades against a backdrop of olive groves.
During the communist period, this beach served as an exclusive vacation destination for government officials and military officers, featuring a dedicated hotel overlooking the waters.
The beach maintains a balance between daytime swimming activities and evening social gatherings, reflecting the evolving coastal lifestyle of modern Albania.
Visitors need to drive 40 kilometers from Vlore or take a minibus to the main road, followed by a 5-kilometer walk to reach the beach location.
The beach connects to Pirates Cave, a natural formation where swimmers can experience water illuminated by sunlight filtering through ceiling openings.
