Plaza Liska Slatina Beach, Croatia
Plaza Liska Slatina lies on the northern Adriatic coast near Zabodarski, Cunski, offering a secluded cove experience with white pebbles and gentle waves. This 210-meter beach is marked by its smooth depth gradient, making it accessible for children and non-swimmers. While no formal amenities exist, the beach's natural features and proximity to nearby settlements make it a practical choice for those seeking a quiet coastal retreat.
Beach character
The beach forms a narrow cove measuring 210 meters in length and 30 meters in width, with a seabed composed of standard-grain sand. The predominant surface is white pebbles, creating a distinctive texture underfoot. Depth increases smoothly from the shore, a feature noted by visitors as particularly suitable for families with young children. The beach is officially designated as pet-friendly, with information signs directing users to designated areas for dogs.
Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions are generally favorable, with slow, gentle waves that create a calm environment. The depth gradient allows for safe wading, and snorkeling is explicitly listed as an available activity. The white pebbles, while not ideal for sunbathing, provide a stable surface for setting up beach equipment. Visitors have reported clear, warm water with minimal turbulence, though the absence of sand means traditional sunbed setups are not feasible.
Facilities and activities
No formal facilities are listed in the beach's authoritative features, though visitor accounts describe a basic camping-friendly environment. The beach is explicitly marked as suitable for wild camping, with no dedicated infrastructure. Snorkeling is the primary structured activity, with the clear waters attracting those seeking underwater exploration. The beach's pet-friendliness is a notable feature, though users are directed to follow signage for designated animal areas.
Access and location
Access requires a vehicle, with visitor reports noting that not all cars can navigate the approach. Parking options include a designated area 300 meters from the beach along a dirt road. The beach's coordinates (44.57518, 14.37625) place it in a relatively isolated coastal section, with nearby settlements offering basic services. The lack of formal parking infrastructure means visitors should plan for potential challenges in vehicle access.
What visitors say
Reviewers consistently highlight the beach's tranquility and cleanliness, with one noting 'very few people, great swim' during July 2023. Another described the area as 'clean clear and warm water' with 'nice gentle breeze.' However, several visitors mentioned accessibility challenges, with one stating 'not for every car' and another noting the need to park 300 meters away. The beach's pet-friendliness is frequently mentioned, though users are advised to follow signage for designated areas.
Practical tips
Visitors should be prepared for limited parking options and potential vehicle access challenges. The beach's white pebble surface may require alternative sun protection strategies compared to sandy beaches. Those bringing pets should follow designated area signage. The absence of formal amenities means visitors should bring all necessary supplies for a day at the beach.

Reviews
Very nice beach. Is reachable with car. But not for every car ;-). A good place to stay or walk to the othe places near. adlet
Very few people, great swim.
Forget about any negative comments about this beach, we’ll worth checking it out. Clean clear and warm water. Nice gentle breeze to keep you cool in the heat. No sand but a nice white pebbled beach, can still stick an umbrella up. Great beach for the kids. Slow gentle waves. Definitely one of the top beach spots on losinj. Can drive right up the beach with the right vehicle or park just 300 meters from the beach on side of the dirt road. Primorje-Gorski Kotar
