Its signature landscape is the old pine forest of stone pine and Aleppo pine that runs behind the shore, crossed by shady paths and cycle tracks. Between the trees and the sea lie the Godulla lagoon, river channels and wet meadows, and beyond them a long, flat coastline of sand and dunes, about 35 km from one river mouth to the other.
The park is a favourite of birdwatchers, with more than 200 bird species recorded. The Karavasta Lagoon within the park, covered on its own page, holds the only Adriatic breeding colony of the Dalmatian pelican. A visitor centre and a wooden observation tower at the edge of the forest help visitors watch wildlife without disturbing it.
Divjakë is reached by road from Lushnjë, and the park entrance is a short drive west of the town on the way to Divjaka Beach. Walks and bike rides in the pine forest are pleasant in every season; spring and autumn are best for birds, while summer brings beachgoers to the coast. Bring insect repellent in the warm months, and combine the visit with Apollonia or Ardenica Monastery.
