Plaza Misevac Beach - Trogir, Croatia
Plaza Misevac Beach lies along the eastern shore of Trogir, a historic town on the Adriatic Sea. This cove-style beach stretches 590 meters with a width of 20 meters, framed by natural rock formations and shaded by trees. Its beige pebbles create a unique texture underfoot, while the seabed slopes gently with medium-sized pebbles. The beach is accessible by foot or public transport, and visitor reviews consistently highlight its cleanliness and tranquil atmosphere.
Beach character
The beach’s character is defined by its natural contours and pebbled surface. The predominant cover is beige pebbles, which extend across most of the shoreline. While this may not be ideal for those seeking soft sand, the pebbles provide a stable base for walking and sunbathing. The beach is sheltered by natural rock formations, offering a sense of intimacy. Depth increases gradually, with no sharp drops, making it a safe option for swimmers. The surrounding landscape features tree cover that provides shade, a rare feature for a pebbled beach in the region.
Swimming and shore
The sea floor is covered in medium-sized pebbles, which may pose challenges for young children or those unaccustomed to such surfaces. However, the gentle slope of the seabed ensures a moderate depth increase, allowing swimmers to wade comfortably. Snorkeling is a popular activity here, with visitors noting the presence of crabs on the rocks and a diverse array of fish in the shallows. The water clarity is generally good, though the pebbles may affect visibility compared to sandy beaches.

No formal amenities are listed for Plaza Misevac, but the beach includes an equipped camping area, making it a draw for those seeking overnight stays.
