About Qeparo Beach
Qeparo Beach sits along the waterfront of Qeparo village, the low-key alternative to Himara's busier town beaches. The shoreline is pebbled but the seabed turns to soft sand a few meters in, with a gentle slope that suits children and less confident swimmers. A pleasant promenade lined with stone tiles, old-style lanterns, and a handful of restaurants and bars runs behind the beach, and even in August a quiet stretch is usually within a short walk. Note: the historic Qeparo i Sipërm (Old Qeparo) village sits up the hill, the beach is the lower, modern Qeparo settlement.
