Gjipe Beach

Gjipe Beach is located on the same strip of Albanian coastline as some of the Riviera's most popular and highly rated beaches. The beach at Gjipe, which is located between the tourist beaches of Drymades and Himara, has been untouched by development. The beach here is hidden by the steep landscape at the end of the Gjipe Canyon, an amazing natural feature with rock formations that reach up to 70 meters in height in certain spots. You can climb a few of kilometers up the canyon if you want to, although it is rather difficult. It takes a little effort to get to the beach, which helps to keep the beach relatively calm even in the height of summer.

Gjipe, like other beaches along the Albanian Riviera, offers warm, crystal-clear azure water and fine white pebbles on the beach. Despite its remote location and 20-minute walk to the beach, there are a few basic amenities, such as sun loungers and parasols. A little cart offering food and drinks is also present.

The Albanian Riviera is still relatively unknown to the rest of the world, and Gjipe Beach is not yet on the tourist map. However, given its natural beauty, it appears unlikely that it will remain that way indefinitely.
