Lalëzi Bay

It is known for its long stretch of fine sand, shallow clear water, and a quieter atmosphere than some of the country's busier seaside resorts, making it popular for day trips and summer holidays.

What makes it special

The bay combines a broad sandy shoreline with Mediterranean pine forests and gently sloping water, creating an environment that is especially well suited to families and visitors looking for relaxed swimming. The area has grown as a tourism destination while retaining a more spacious feel than the central beaches of Durrës, with beach clubs, restaurants, cafés, and holiday accommodations spread along the coast.

Things to do

Visitors typically come to swim, sunbathe, enjoy fresh seafood, walk along the shoreline, or relax at beach bars. The calm conditions also make the bay suitable for casual water activities during the summer season, while the surrounding dunes and coastal woodland provide pleasant scenery for walks and picnics.

Location and access

The point of interest is located near Plazhi San Pietro (address: GG47+JP7, Plazhi San Pietro, Albania) in the Durrës region. Lalëzi Bay lies roughly 20–30 km north of Durrës and is easily reached by car from both Durrës and Tirana, making it a popular weekend destination for residents and visitors alike.
