Beaches from Tirana

Hi all, coming down to your Albania next week. Will be staying in Tirana, but looking to rent a car and drive to one of the beach areas to spend overnight.

Looking for a fun area with beautiful sights and lively restaurants and evening vibe, (not hard partying) - please let me know if what I've written seems accurate, options are:

1- Ksamil Beach or Sarandë (4 hour drive), seems to be the most popular and prettiest area?

2- Jale Beach or Himare (3 hour drive) has a lively vibe but not as pretty or busy as Ksamil

3- Lalzi (1 hour) closest to Tirana but apparently very quiet and not that interesting?

If you had to choose from the above (driving one far in the morning and coming back the next day) which would you choose?

Thanks!
