Reviews
The area is quite pleasant for relaxation and having a drink. It is a bit distant from the main part of Makarska, but that also means there are fewer people. Water sports are available at a reasonable price.
Really nice and clean beach with small pebbles. Crystal clear turquoise water. You have the beach bar Kocha beach bar wich is a nice place to chill if you want something to drink or some lighter food. You also have another bar on this beach. There is also possible to hire jetskis or try parasailing. Well worth the trip! Try it out :)
