Mirror Beach (Plazhi i Pasqyrave)

Plazhi i Pasqyrave — clear water between Sarandë and Ksamil.

Plazhi i Pasqyrave (Mirror Beach) is a stretch of coast on the road between Sarandë and Ksamil, known for very clear, pale water that can look mirror-flat on calm mornings. Albanian tourism sources place it in the Sarandë area on the SH81 toward Ksamil. The English nickname has sometimes been used for more than one nearby spot, so check your map pin before you go.
