About 5 kilometres north of Jalë, the village of Borsh sits on a hillside above the longest beach on the Albanian Riviera. The village is known for its olive oil — some of the trees in the groves below the village are said to be centuries old — and for the ruined Borsh Castle (also called Sopot Castle) that occupies a crag above the houses. The castle was built over earlier Byzantine fortifications and commanded a view of the entire coastal plain.
Borsh Beach itself stretches for 7 kilometres, making it the longest stretch of sand and shingle on the Albanian coast. It is less developed than the beaches at Himara or Dhermi, and in the shoulder season you can walk long stretches without another soul in sight. The combination of the beach, the olive groves, the castle, and the village makes Borsh a more varied destination than Jalë alone.
