Beach character
The beach's composition of sand, gravel, and concrete slabs reflects the natural geology of Pag's eastern coast. While the sand and gravel sections are suitable for sunbathing and casual activities, the concrete slabs may be more practical for walking or short excursions along the shore. The presence of a restaurant and snack bar ensures visitors have access to meals and beverages without needing to leave the beach area. Natural shade, likely provided by surrounding vegetation or topographical features, adds comfort during peak sunlight hours. The beach's length of 170 meters allows for a relaxed experience, though it is not extensive enough for large gatherings or organized events.Swimming and shore
The beach's mix of sand and gravel suggests it is generally suitable for swimming, though the gravel sections may be less ideal for prolonged water activities. The shore is characterized by its natural contours, with no artificial structures or significant elevation changes. The concrete slabs along parts of the beach may indicate historical or infrastructural use, such as past maritime activities or coastal defense works. The absence of detailed water quality information means visitors should exercise standard caution when swimming, as is typical for many Mediterranean beaches.Facilities and activities
Livić Beach includes a restaurant and snack bar, which are essential for visitors seeking meals or light refreshments. A caffe bar and drinks stand further support socializing and casual dining. There are no explicitly listed recreational activities beyond the basic amenities, though the beach's setting on Pag—a region known for its cultural heritage and natural beauty—may offer opportunities for exploring nearby historical sites or enjoying the island's scenic landscapes. The facilities are limited to food and beverage services, with no mention of showers, restrooms, or parking in the authoritative data.Access and location
Livić Beach is situated in Stara Novalja, a coastal village on the island of Pag in Croatia's Zadar County. Pag is renowned for its pebble beaches, salt pans, and historical connections to ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. The beach's location within Stara Novalja places it near the village's main amenities, though specific details about road access or nearby transportation hubs are not provided in the catalog. The island's position in the Adriatic Sea makes it a popular destination for both land-based tourism and maritime exploration.What to expect

Visitors can expect a 170-meter shoreline featuring sand, gravel, and concrete slabs, which may influence the type of activities suitable for the beach. The presence of a restaurant, snack bar, and caffe bar ensures access to food and drinks, though no additional services like parking or restrooms are mentioned. Natural shade is available, which is particularly useful for visitors seeking comfort during sunny periods. The beach's location on Pag, an island known for its historical and natural attractions, may offer opportunities for broader exploration beyond the immediate shoreline.Practical tips
Given the beach's composition of sand and gravel, visitors may want to bring a towel or mat for comfort on the gravel sections. The availability of food and drink services suggests that visitors should plan for meals on-site, though no details about pricing or menu options are provided. The natural shade is a notable feature for those looking to avoid direct sunlight, but visitors should still apply sunscreen and stay hydrated, as is standard for Mediterranean beaches.Exploring the coast by yacht
