Reviews
Nice beach with trees, also having parking slots.
Very nice beach, there are a lot of trees for shade, the water is beautiful, the only thing is that entering the water is a little more difficult because it is rocky, so it is best to buy water slippers, there are also two cafes on the beach, it is small and tucked away.
Nice beaches with lot of shadow and one special place to refresh your self!
Enjoyed the stillness of the sea just in time while there's no crowd yet. Drinking a good cup of coffee and a decent puff on a beach while there's only seagulls and sun, it's a bliss for me.
Peaceful and beauteful. Good for retired People! Zadar
