Borsh Beach 2026: Albania's Longest Beach (North vs South)
7 km of coast splits cleanly into two beaches. We tested both ends in May 2026 — where to set up for sunbeds, where to walk for empty sand.

About Borsh Beach
Borsh Beach is the longest beach on the entire Albanian Riviera, stretching roughly 7 km along the coast with a sand and gravel surface. Its deep blue, shallow waters and vast stretches of uncrowded shoreline make it a favorite for families seeking space and quiet. Beach clubs, hotels, restaurants, and sunbeds with parasols are available, but the sheer length of the beach means solitude is always just a short walk away.
