Lovrecina Beach II - Vela Lozna (Postira), Postira, Croatia
Lovrecina Beach II lies in the quiet coastal stretch of Vela Lozna near Postira, a village on the island of Brač. This small cove beach measures approximately 50 meters wide and 10 meters deep, framed by mountainous terrain that creates a natural barrier against strong winds. The beach surface combines beige sand with pebbles, while the shallow sea floor slopes gradually into deeper waters. Its modest size and sheltered position make it a popular yet unassuming spot for visitors seeking respite from busier shores.
Beach character
The beach’s defining feature is its crescent shape, which curves gently along the coastline. The surrounding hills provide a striking contrast to the azure sea, with vegetation clinging to rocky outcrops. The sand and pebble mix is consistent along the shore, though the pebble section may require sturdy footwear for traversal. Depth increases moderately as one moves seaward, making it suitable for both wading and swimming. The absence of artificial structures preserves the beach’s natural character, though visitors note the lack of amenities like restrooms or umbrellas.
Swimming and shore
The waters surrounding Lovrecina Beach II are noted for their clarity, with several reviews mentioning "transparent waters" and "practically no one" during visits. The moderate depth progression allows swimmers to explore without encountering abrupt changes in terrain. The pebble beach section is particularly appealing for families with children, as one reviewer highlighted its "suitability for families with children." However, the absence of lifeguards or safety equipment means swimmers should exercise caution, especially in less predictable sea conditions.
Facilities and activities
No formal amenities are listed for Lovrecina Beach II, though visitors report finding convenient parking options. One review mentions "convenient parking 100 meters away," while another notes that the beach is "easily accessible on foot via a gravel road from Postira." The lack of services such as showers, food vendors, or rental equipment means visitors should plan accordingly. Activities are limited to swimming and sunbathing, with no structured offerings like water sports or guided tours.
Access and location
Reaching Lovrecina Beach II requires traversing a gravel road from Postira, a village known for its traditional stone houses and vineyards. The route is described as "easily accessible" in multiple reviews, though the road’s condition may vary. A secondary access point connects to the main road, where parking is available despite the absence of signage. The beach’s proximity to Postira and its position on Brač’s western coast place it within reach of other coastal attractions, including the famous Zlatni Rat beach on the island of Bol.

Multiple visitors noted the beach’s "not crowded" atmosphere, with one describing it as "quiet with few people."

The consistent high ratings (all 10/10) reflect satisfaction with the beach’s unspoiled character.
Practical tips
