San Andrea Beach
San Andrea's water earns the kind of praise reviewers save for a handful of Riviera coves — crystal clear, deep blue, good enough for snorkelling — and the setting helps: the bay sits cupped between two mountains a short boat ride from Dhërmi. Walkers can also reach it on foot from Palasë, following the shoreline path past a small church that marks the route, a hike of just over two hours if you keep a steady pace and start early. One bar now serves the beach, and more than one visitor has grumbled about resort prices for a drink in what's otherwise still wild coast.

DhërmiPlazhi i Drimadhës
Plazhi i Drimadhës carries a name close to Drymades, the cove tucked into the Riviera coastline near Dhërmi where the pebble shore curves below olive-covered slopes. It sits without a review record yet, but the geography does the talking here — this stretch of coast between Dhërmi and Himarë is known for water that stays cold and remarkably clear even in August, a trade-off for the steeper, stonier entry compared with sandier beaches further south. Bring sturdy sandals for the shoreline and expect a quieter scene than the marquee beaches nearby.
DhërmiPlazhi i Shpellës
Plazhi i Shpellës takes its name from the sea cave believed to sit along this stretch of Dhërmi's rocky coastline — shpellë means cave in Albanian, and the beach itself is a narrow pebble shore wedged beneath the cliffs rather than the wide sandy strip travellers picture when they hear Riviera. Expect clear, deep water close to shore, since pebble beaches here tend to drop off faster than sandy ones, and a setting more dramatic than developed. It suits travellers chasing a photogenic, lesser-known corner of Dhërmi rather than a full day of sunbeds and beach service.
DhërmiEnglish Bay
English Bay is a rock-shored cove on the Dhërmi coastline, the kind of name that suggests an old nickname among divers or sailors rather than an official designation — and with no Google review trail yet, it's still flying under most travellers' radar. Rock rather than sand or pebble means this is a spot for swimming off flat stones and clambering in and out of the water rather than laying out a towel, closer in spirit to the snorkeling coves scattered along this part of the Riviera than to Dhërmi's main sandy front. Bring water shoes and expect to have the bay largely to yourself.
