Years ago, on many beaches, in Velipoja, Durrës and Himare, there were incidents with boats that penetrated to the shore where vacationers were swimming, injuring them.
Of these accidents, there have also been fatal cases such as the one in 2016 where a Russian vacationer lost his life while swimming after being hit by a boat.
