Shore Behind Green Coast (Greencoast) — Seclusion by the Amar Cliffs
The shore behind Green Coast — The Ionian coast of Albania behind the Green Coast complex to the Amar rocks. The coast is located beyond the Llogara Pass in the Dhermi area.
Shore Behind Green Coast Resort
The Green Coast ends near the Amar Rocks.
They are a natural barrier and a great place for a secluded holiday.
The entire coastline from the ZUKA cafe to the Amar rock formation belongs to this coast.
From the ZUKA cafe to the cape is about 600 meters and then from the cape to the rocks is about 400 meters.
ZUKA Café
Near the curve in the road along the shore, you will find ZUKA Café.
ZUKA Café marks the boundary where the Green Coast area ends.
Beyond the café, there is a deserted sandy shoreline, a small part of which is suitable for relaxation.

Information About the Shore Beyond Green Coast
The coastline behind the GreenCoast complex is a deserted coastline with large semi-circular boulders.
This area may be interesting for photoshoots, but it is not comfortable for seaside relaxation.
An even more unusual panoramic landscape of rounded boulders can be found further along.
There are excellent mountain views and scatterings of unusual boulders.

The Cape Dividing the Shore
A cape separates two sandbanks on either side of the coastline.
Essentially, the cape splits the shore into two parts — one near Green Coast and the other near Amar Bar.
The cape itself features a green oasis with trees and a coastal machine gun bunker (bunker pillbox).
Here is the cape, where two sandbanks meet from both sides of the coast.
- The cape divides the coast in half – Greencoast and Amar beach.
The Shore Near the Cape
For about 200 meters on both sides of the cape, boats cannot dock due to numerous underwater rocks.
The stones make swimming unsafe, making it difficult to enter the water safely.
Summary: Swimming and relaxing in this part of the coast come with a risk of injury.
- Numerous underwater rocks are clearly visible under the water.
The Amar Cliffs
Sandbar Leading to the Cliffs
A view of the southern Green Coast shoreline (the Amar rocky coastline) from the cape.
Approximately half of the sandbar (200 meters) is covered with rocks, making it unsuitable for full-fledged relaxation.
There are many underwater cliffs and large rocks, making it impossible for boats to dock here.
- The rocky coastline stretches towards the Amar rocks from the cape.
The Shore by the Cliffs
Near the Amar rocks there are about 200 meters of shore suitable for recreation.
The rest of the shore is littered with large oval-shaped stones.
In addition, it is impossible to swim near the shore littered with stones.
There are many large underwater boulders that prevent entry into the sea and swimming.
Important: Boats can safely dock only near the cliffs (up to 50 meters from them).
A sandy beach is located right next to the Amar cliffs.
A comfortable shaded area is available for relaxation near the cliffs.
Important: You can drive directly to this part of the coast via a dirt road leading to the beach.

The Sea Near the Cliffs

Along the coast there are bizarrely shaped rocks.
Important: this is the only place where boats can safely moor to the shore.

Many people enjoy relaxing in nature near the transparent turquoise sea.
Some Albanians prefer this kind of private retreat over crowded party beaches.
- The Amar Rocks are a great place for a family holiday.
Bunkers Near the Cliffs
There are two pillboxes from the time of Enver Hoxha near the shore.
Both bunkers are of standard design and are monuments of a past era. Tourists will find them interesting to look at.
