From all the pictures I saw, there's no sand, just rocks though. Is that how it really is?
No sand , probably only in few very small beaches you'll find a white sand but most of southern riviera is Rocky [FACE WITH STUCK-OUT TONGUE AND WINKING EYE]
Visit "Plazhi i Pasqyrave" and Dhermi . If you have time go to Butrint too

Yep no sand. Sandy beaches start further north in Divjake and go all the way up to Velipoje. I highly recommend Sarande, especially Ksamil. If you go, try to spend a day or two in Himare or Drymades as well. Tell the locals you're LedZep's friend and they'll take care of you
My personal favorite was Drymades beach, it felt like paradise.

Definitely not going north alone, after some of the stories I heard.

I'm from America. The south. I grew up tipping the mailman. If I'm in albania, I have to give the workers something.
Tipping is not customary in Albania, except for waiters, and even waiters are not used to getting 15-20% that is customary in the U.S. I doubt they are insulted though when you tip them, it's just that Albanians are not equipped to show appreciation when you give them money.
Always tip the waiters, usually 1-2 $ tip is good, even 50 cent is ok. Most of them work with 150$ as monthly wage , wich is slavery to my eyes . If you stay at a hotel leave some coins at the commode so they'll put new bed sheets and clean towels in bathroom
