Guma

Tucked below the better-known Aquarium Beach in Jala, Guma rewards anyone willing to bump down a rough dirt track — camper vans and even low-clearance cars manage it, though the drive itself gets called an adventure. What's waiting at the bottom is a small, mixed sand-and-pebble cove with startlingly clear water where fish dart visibly among the rocks, and a noticeably thinner crowd than its neighbour. With 72 reviews averaging 4.6 stars, Guma has become an insider's stop on the Himarë coast — quiet on a good day, though a few visitors found it overrun when caravans move in.
