Why go
Velipoja & the Rana e Hedhun Dunes
Wide flat Adriatic beach at Velipoja, a protected lagoon, and Rana e Hedhun — the thrown sand — near Shëngjin. A long coastal day from Tirana.
Velipoja is wide flat Adriatic sand with a protected lagoon reserve behind it. Further south near Shëngjin, Rana e Hedhun — the thrown sand — is a dune ridge rising straight off the beach.
The coast here is quieter than the Ionian Riviera. The point of the day is the space: beach, lagoon birds, and a dune you can walk without a ticket booth.

Questions
Before you reserve
- Do I have to hike?
- No. Every stop on this route is reached by vehicle. If you want to walk, the driver waits — but nothing requires it.
- How do I pay?
- Cash on the day is cheapest. Card online includes a 20% charge for the processor and currency conversion — that is not our margin. A retainer of 25% of the card price (minimum €30) holds the vehicle; the balance is cash on the day.
- How many people can come?
- Up to eight. One vehicle seats four; five to eight guests means both cars go out, and both cars are paid for. That is the only honest way to price a two-car fleet.
