Qeparo Beach is a relaxed, family-friendly beach on the Albanian Riviera, though like most beaches here it does get crowded during the summer months. It’s especially popular with families since you can stay just above the beach in Lower Qeparo and have everything close by. The water isn’t the clearest on the Riviera, but the overall vibe more than makes up for it. Compared to places like Drymades, Palasë, or Dhërmi, Qeparo feels much more casual and less high-end, which is part of its charm. There’s a small boardwalk lined with great bars and restaurants, including spots like Super Paradise and Sunset Boulevard Cocktail Bar, giving the area a lively but still easygoing feel. Personally, I love staying in Qeparo when I don’t feel like moving around much, you’ve got your hotel, good food, drinks, and the beach all in one place. As with most beaches in summer, expect to pay for sunbeds.
