Bosana Beach II, Croatia

Beach character
The beach's defining characteristic is its composition of beige pebbles, which cover most of the shore. These medium-sized stones create a textured walking surface that may pose challenges for young children or those unaccustomed to such terrain. The cove's dimensions—30 meters wide at its narrowest point—create a naturally enclosed environment that offers some protection from open-sea swells. The seabed continues the pebble theme, with gradual depth increases that make it suitable for cautious swimmers.Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions are generally manageable due to the moderate depth increase, though the pebble-covered seabed may not be ideal for those seeking soft sands. The beach's cove formation provides some shelter from direct wind exposure, though larger waves during storms can affect the shoreline. The absence of artificial beach structures means visitors should expect a more natural, unaltered coastal experience.Facilities and activities
There are no permanent facilities at Bosana Beach II itself, but the nearby town of Biograd na Moru offers essential services. The beach's most notable activity is motor boat rentals, making it a convenient starting point for water-based excursions. Visitors should note that there are no on-site food vendors, requiring prior planning for meals or snacks.Access and location
Located at 40 Zadarska ulica in Biograd na Moru, the beach is accessible via local roads connecting to the town center. Its proximity to Zadar (approximately 35 kilometers east) makes it a convenient base for exploring the wider region, including the historic city's famous sunset views. The beach's coordinates (43.94569, 15.44464) place it within the broader sailing area of the Northern Dalmatian coast.What visitors say

Great beach, but if you want to eat something quick without spending much money like bakery, there is none!!, you will need to go into city center, make sure to do that before going to the beach or make some sandwich at home :)
