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.

18 km south of Himara (25 min drive)
Borsh Beach is het langste strand van de hele Albanese Riviera, ongeveer 7 km lang met een zand- en grindoppervlak. Het diepblauwe, ondiepe water en de uitgestrekte, rustige stroken maken het een favoriet voor gezinnen die ruimte en stilte zoeken. Strandclubs, hotels, restaurants en ligbedden met parasols zijn aanwezig, maar door de enorme lengte van het strand is afzondering altijd maar een korte wandeling weg.
Deep blue, shallow depths
By car via SH8; turn off near BOLV gas station, then 1 km to beach
