Blue Bay Beach Livadh in Himarë, Albania

Blue Bay Beach Livadh is a beach bar and restaurant on Livadh Beach near Himarë, with a current public footprint that places it firmly in the beach-day rather than nightlife-only category. It suits travelers who want to swim and eat in the same place, couples looking for a slower meal near the water, and families or small groups that prefer a calmer coastal base to a louder party club. Its main limitation is that published information is spread across directories rather than a strong official website, so exact menus, prices, sunbed arrangements and seasonal operating details should be confirmed on the day rather than assumed from older reviews or photographs.

Current listings place Blue Bay at Livadh, the wide bay west of central Himarë. A recent beach-club directory describes it at the southern end of Livadh Beach and currently marks it open, while a local business directory confirms the Blue Bay Beach Bar name, Himarë locality and a current contact number. Another current listing provides coordinates around the Livadh waterfront and a daily 09:00–21:00 schedule. These sources are sufficient to confirm the identity and location, but they do not resolve every contact discrepancy found in older listings, so the address is more reliable than any single historical phone number.

The food offering is broader than the workpack category “bar” suggests. Current venue coverage describes Mediterranean-style service built around seafood and beach dining, mentioning seafood linguine, grilled octopus, Greek salad and a fresh-catch display. That makes Blue Bay more useful for lunch or an early dinner than a drinks-only shack. The safest way to read these examples is as a picture of the present style rather than a permanent menu: availability of particular fish, shellfish and prepared dishes can vary with the season and supply. Visitors with allergies or dietary restrictions should ask directly rather than rely on a third-party menu summary.

The setting is the larger attraction. Livadh is a long, open beach where the day naturally revolves around swimming, sun and long meals. Current coverage describes rustic tables and straw umbrellas, reinforcing the idea that Blue Bay works best when treated as part of a beach day rather than as a standalone urban restaurant reservation. The venue can therefore serve several roles: coffee or breakfast before the beach becomes busy, a shaded lunch break, a slow seafood meal in the afternoon, or a drink as the temperature drops. Travelers who only want a quick cocktail may find more focused bars elsewhere in Himarë, while those who want food and a longer stay are more likely to benefit from the broader setup here.

Access is by the road serving Livadh Beach. The bay is close to Himarë but separate enough from the center that driving, scooter or taxi is more practical than treating it as an extension of the town promenade. Summer parking can become crowded, especially on weekends and in August, so early arrival is useful if the plan includes several hours on the beach. A taxi is also sensible for visitors who expect to drink with lunch or dinner. The final approach is coastal and informal; no current source confirms a fully paved, step-free path from parking to every beach table or seating area.

Accessibility should therefore be treated as unconfirmed. Outdoor beach venues can change their layout with the season, and tables that are easy to reach one week may be repositioned later. Travelers who use a wheelchair, walker or stroller should contact the venue before relying on beach-level access. The same caution applies to toilets, changing facilities and reserved parking because the currently available sources do not document them clearly enough to make a dependable claim.

A directory currently publishes 09:00–21:00 for every day of the week. That is useful as a planning reference, but it should not be treated as an immutable year-round timetable. Blue Bay is tied to the Riviera season, and weather, staffing and shoulder-season demand can alter service. Anyone planning breakfast at opening time, dinner near closing or a visit outside the main summer months should confirm directly. Likewise, do not assume that beach loungers, umbrellas or a particular table are included with a food order; beach service and restaurant service may be priced separately.

Plan roughly one to two hours for a meal, or three to six hours if Blue Bay is your base for a full Livadh Beach session. Its advantage is straightforward: you can swim, settle into a shaded beachfront setting and eat something more substantial than typical bar snacks without leaving the bay. Its tradeoff is the lack of a single authoritative source for every practical detail. Arrive with the beach as the core experience, treat the restaurant and bar as flexible seasonal services, and confirm any detail that matters financially or logistically before ordering or reserving a place.
