This secluded beach is nestled in a deep bay, offering a tranquil escape from the bustling tourist crowds. The beach is characterized by its breathtaking natural beauty, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and untouched green surroundings. The beach itself is a mix of pebbles and gravel, stretching for about 300 meters. The descent into the water is sharp, making aqua socks a good idea for comfortable swimming.

The beach's seclusion contributes to its charm, making it a perfect destination for those seeking relaxation and tranquility. While it can get crowded during the peak summer season, it generally remains less busy than other beaches in the area.

Despite the lack of facilities, the untouched beauty and peaceful ambiance of Kakoma Beach make it a must-visit destination on the Albanian Riviera.
