BWR Beach II - Vantačići, Croatia

Beach character

The beach is a narrow cove measuring 310 meters in length and 10 meters in width. Its predominant surface is concrete, with natural shade provided by the surrounding landscape. The sea floor is also concrete, and the depth increases smoothly, offering a safe environment for swimmers of all abilities. This gentle gradient is particularly beneficial for young children and non-swimmers, though visitors should note that the beach is marked as 'Busy' during high season.

Swimming and shore

The smooth depth progression of BWR Beach II ensures a gradual transition from shallow to deeper water, reducing the risk of sudden drops. The concrete shoreline is firm underfoot, though visitors may find the surface less comfortable for prolonged sunbathing compared to sandy beaches. The beach's orientation as a cove provides some natural protection from waves, though this is not explicitly stated in the catalog.
