A long sandy beach and a ruined Skanderbeg-era castle, an hour and a half's drive west of Tirana. The cape itself is dramatic — a low headland of red cliffs running into the Adriatic — and the small church of Saint Anthony just inland is a popular pilgrimage in summer. Most travellers come for an afternoon: a swim, a walk to the castle ruins, lunch at the half-dozen seafood shacks above the sand.
The road in is unpaved and slow but passable in any normal car. A good day trip from Tirana for travellers who want the coast without the developed clutter of Durrës.
