These different locations make Baks-Rrjollë a coastal destination with many clearly distinguishable facets.

Routes

A predominantly unpaved sandy track leads from the settlement of Baks-Rrjoll across Rrjolli and over open sandy areas. In summer, this track is used mainly by tourists to reach the beach. The programme for regional and local connecting roads includes the construction and rehabilitation of the Shëngjin–Baks-Rrjoll road.
