San Pietro beach

San Pietro is the major beach resort destination in Albania. It is a long sandy coast with good hotels and lots of trees. However, it is hard to find a tree right on the beach. But there is cheap sunbeds and umbrellas rental (sometimes even for free). Sea water is shallow, thus being great for children. In addition, this is the reason for the water to be warmer if compared with other beaches. It is worth to mention, that sometimes there is some trash on the beach - including algae. However, this is more like an occasional problem. So everything is quite decent most of time. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]
