Shpella e Pëllumbave is a beautiful beach located next to Plazhi i Pasqyrave, between Saranda and Ksamil. The last few kilometers of the drive are on a bumpy dirt road, and during peak summer, parking can be tricky depending on how crowded it is, the closest spot is marked as “Shpella e Pëllumbave Parking” on Google Maps. From there, a steep trail and some metal steps lead down to the beach, offering a full view of the stunning coastline; the walk down usually takes around 20 minutes. In summer, expect to pay similar prices to Plazhi i Pasqyrave: around 500 Lek (€5) for parking and 1,500–2,000 Lek (€15–20) per sunbed. Personally, I avoid visiting during peak season due to the crowds and tricky access, but if you’re there in summer, it’s best to arrive early in the morning.
