Grab a cold drink or light snack before heading to the water. Check opening hours for local cafes or resorts along the SH2 near Maminas, as options are limited and may close early in the off-season.
20:14
Find a spot on Lalzi Bay Beach. The sun sets toward the WNW, casting a warm glow over the water. This is the peak moment for photography and quiet reflection. If you are visiting on July 15, the sunset is at 20:14 local time.
20:29
Stroll along the coast toward Skanderbeg Castle or the small church at Rodon Cape for a post-sunset walk. The area is popular on weekends, so expect some company. Check the route from the beach to these landmarks, as specific walking directions are not provided in the local data.
Local tip
Lalzi Bay is a hub for the wealthy and weekend visitors. For the best experience, arrive before golden light starts (19:33 on July 15) to secure a good spot. Bring layers as the sea breeze can be cool after sunset.
Check before you go
