Reviews
Even though we came around 12:30 on Saturday there were still some parking place that cost €1.20/hour, you pay as much as you stay, no more no less. There's an official that's going around checking if you paid for parking ( make sure you do if you don't want parking ticket). Beach is so clean, with turquoise sea that's cristal clear. It wasn't crowded at all. Beautiful atmosphere, the sound off cicadas, the smell off pine tree, the refreshing breeze and perfect sea temperature. Nothing more to ask for. There's also a shower, no changing cabins, but who cares 😂. Great experience, we will be going back 👍🏊
Beautiful beach just beside the main road with off street parking! Pine trees for additional shade. Sea is very warm and calm. Amazing place!
Nice beach, although quite narrow. Lot of sealife, showers on the spot. Parking available but paid (8kn for hour).
Cristal clean water, not too many people, good for families with kids Šibenik-Knin
