FKK Beach Erot - Sutivan, Croatia
Beach character
The beach's straight shoreline is composed of boulders, with the sea floor gradually deepening from the shore. Natural shade is provided by cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation, creating a sheltered environment. The pebbly terrain is a defining feature, with one reviewer noting it's 'ideally suited for early morning swims' when cooler. The beach's orientation faces north, contributing to its shaded character and moderate temperatures during peak hours.Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions are generally good, with moderate depth increase as one moves away from the shore. The boulder-strewn seabed may require caution for swimmers, though the pebbles are described as manageable with watershoes. The beach's sheltered position reduces wave intensity, making it suitable for calm swimming. The sea floor's composition of boulders contrasts with the smooth pebble shore, creating a varied underwater landscape.Facilities and activities
No formal amenities are listed, but the beach's natural features support its nudist character. The absence of structured facilities means visitors rely on the landscape for shade and privacy. The beach's primary activity is sunbathing and swimming, with its unique atmosphere appealing to those seeking a relaxed, clothing-optional environment.Access and location
Access requires walking the final 200 meters from a parking area, with reviews indicating ample parking spaces before this section. The road leading to the beach is described as 'a nightmare for vehicles' by one visitor, suggesting alternative transport like mountain bikes may be more practical. The beach is situated in Sutivan, a coastal settlement on the island of Brač, within the Split-Dalmatia region.What visitors say
Reviewers consistently note the beach's tranquility, with one calling it 'our 2nd most best beach near Sutivan' and another describing it as 'quiet and beautiful'. The nudist aspect is a recurring theme, with visitors appreciating the absence of crowds despite the beach's moderate crowd index in high season. However, the challenging road access is a notable drawback, with one reviewer advising to 'forget your car' due to the road's condition.Practical tips
Wear watershoes to navigate the pebbly shoreline comfortably. Arrive early to secure parking spaces before the final 200-meter walk to the beach. Consider alternative transport like mountain bikes given the road's condition. The beach's shaded areas provide natural relief from direct sunlight, making it suitable for extended stays.Exploring the coast by yacht

Reviews
This is a quiet nudist beach. Very pebbly so ideally wear watershoes. Ideal for early morning swim
Shady (North-facing) and full of beautiful mediterranean trees. The last 200m must be taken by foot. Before that many parking places. Nudist beach *visibly* not far...
This is our 2nd most best beach near Sutivan. Recommended, quiet and beautiful.
Pretty nice beach, worst to go there, forget your car, the road is a nightmare by vehicles, maybe montainbike, nothing else. Split-Dalmatia
