Livadhi from the boat
Livadhi Beach is the first major swim stop heading north from Himara, about 4.5 km by sea, a 7–10 minute speedboat run. The beach is a wide pebble crescent (~1.5 km long) enclosed by rocky headlands, and the shallow water is clear to the bottom, which makes it good for families. From the boat, the framing is the main attraction: the entire crescent visible at once, headlands on each end, and Himara Castle silhouetted on the hill above.
Standard swim allocation: 20–30 minutes. The boat anchors offshore; swimmers reach the beach and return.
