Divjakë is a small coastal town on the Adriatic lowland south of Durrës, known primarily as the gateway to the Divjakë-Karavasta National Park — one of Albania's most ecologically important protected areas. The Karavasta Lagoon, a vast coastal wetland stretching along the shore, is home to the largest breeding colony of Dalmatian pelicans in the world, a critically endangered species whose population here has slowly recovered thanks to conservation efforts. Designated under the Ramsar Convention as a wetland of international importance, the lagoon is also a crucial stopping point for hundreds of thousands of migratory birds on the Adriatic flyway, making it one of the finest birdwatching sites in the Balkans.
The town itself is quiet and unhurried, with a long pine-backed beach that sees modest numbers of summer visitors seeking an alternative to the busier beaches around Durrës and Golem. The pine forest along the coast — planted partly as a windbreak in the communist era — now forms a pleasant cycling and walking environment. Fishermen from Divjakë and surrounding villages still work the lagoon using traditional reed boats and techniques, and their fresh catch — eel, grey mullet, and sea bass — can be found at the simple restaurant tables fronting the water.
