Over Palermo Beach
Palermo Beach is a quiet pebble cove on the Porto Palermo bay, set just north of the headland crowned by Ali Pasha's triangular fortress. The shore is shingle and pebble backed by low scrub and rock, with the clear, turquoise water the bay is known for. It is one of several small swimming spots dotted around the sheltered inlet, well suited to a calm swim away from Himara's busier town beaches. Water shoes are recommended on the pebbled surface.
