Discover more about Borsh Beach

Borsh Beach (Plazhi i Borshit) stretches for 7 kilometers along the Albanian Riviera, offering a captivating blend of natural beauty and tranquility. Backed by the stunning Albanian Alps and lush olive groves, the beach provides ample space to unwind and soak in the Mediterranean sun. Unlike some of the more crowded beaches in the region, Borsh remains relatively undeveloped, allowing visitors to experience a more authentic and peaceful coastal setting. The beach itself is pebbly, which contributes to the remarkable clarity of the water. Swimming and sunbathing are popular activities, and the clear waters are ideal for snorkeling. Several beach bars and restaurants dot the shoreline, offering refreshments and local cuisine. For those seeking adventure, boat tours provide access to hidden coves and nearby fishing villages. Beyond the beach, Borsh offers a glimpse into Albania's rich history and culture. The nearby Borsh Castle, also known as Sopot Castle, dates back to the 4th century BC and offers panoramic views of the coastline. The castle ruins and the remains of an 18th-century mosque provide a tangible link to the region's past. The village of Borsh, located a short distance from the beach, is known for its traditional Albanian hospitality and local cuisine.
