About Gjipe Beach

Gjipe Beach sits dramatically at the mouth of a canyon, combining a pebble and sand shoreline with towering cliff walls. Despite requiring a 30-minute walk from the parking area (300 ALL fee), it rewards visitors with clear blue water, small explorable caves at low tide, and a canyon setting that prevents it from ever feeling overcrowded. Small huts sell drinks, and umbrella and lounger rentals are available, though camping is also permitted for the adventurous.
