Livadhi Beach
4.5 km by road west-north-west of Himara center (10–15 min drive), or 1.8–3.2 km on the coastal footpath (25–40 min walk)
Livadhi Beach (Plazhi i Livadhit), just outside Himara town, is the everyday beach: 1.5 km of pebble shoreline between two rocky headlands, with shallow water that deepens gradually for a good 20-30 meters out, pine trees for natural shade at the quieter south end, and the silhouette of Himara's old castle on the hill above. The north end is livelier, restaurants, sun loungers, and the BOHO beach bar cluster there, while the south end stays calmer and is where families with younger kids tend to settle. At 1.5 km it's long enough to never feel cramped, even at peak season, which is the main thing that separates it from smaller coves nearby. Livadhi faces west, so it also doubles as a good sunset spot, the sun drops straight into the Ionian Sea in front of you.
