Northernmost beach of the Albanian Riviera, just north of Dhermi (~35 min drive north of Himara)
Palasa Beach stretches roughly 1.5 km along the northern end of the Albanian Riviera, just south of the Llogara Pass and a short drive north of Dhermi. Its bright white pebbles and exceptionally clear water make it one of the most striking beaches on the coast, and the Green Coast Resort section here became the first beach in Albania to receive Blue Flag certification. Beach clubs, restaurants, sunbed and umbrella rentals line the shore, with paid premium sections, free public stretches, and water-sports operators offering jet ski, kayak, paddleboard, and dive gear.
Crystal-clear; 24–27°C in July–August; calm with gentle swell
By car off SH8; well-developed road access from Llogara Pass or Dhermi
Beach clubs, restaurants, bars, sun loungers and umbrellas, showers, toilets, playground, sports field; jet ski / kayak / paddleboard / dive rentals

Green Coast Resort & Residences reviews: it's a 200-hectare BALFIN development in Palasë, not a single hotel. The MGallery hotel, the Resort & Residences apartments, the Blue Flag beach — and who each one actually suits.
Palasa is the Albanian Riviera's northern gateway — its only Blue Flag beach, the Green Coast resort, an old hill village, and where Caesar landed. When to go, where to stay.
