Gjipe Beach & Canyon

Plazhi i Gjipesë

A hidden bay at the end of a canyon, reached on foot or by boat, where a white sand beach and bright blue water framed by cliffs make it a jewel of the Riviera.

Gjipe Beach lies between Dhërmi and Himarë, where a deep canyon opens onto the sea and forms a small bay surrounded by towering cliffs. The sand is white, the water is clear, and there is no road to the beach. From the nearby parking area of the Monastery of Saint Theodore, the walk down takes about 20 to 30 minutes. The return climb is tiring. You can also reach the beach by boat from Dhërmi or Jale. Hiking up the canyon is another option. The beach has basic campsites and a small bar, and sunbeds cost a fee in summer. Bring plenty of water and wear non-slip shoes.
