Beach Fabich Glavotok 4, Krk
Beach character
Beach Fabich spans approximately 50 meters in length and 10 meters in width, with a shoreline composed of gray pebbles that transition to sand in some areas. The sea floor is marked by boulders, and the depth increases moderately as one moves away from the shore. Natural shade is provided by cliffs that frame the beach, creating a sheltered environment. The beach's character is defined by its rugged beauty and the absence of artificial amenities, reflecting its status as a relatively untouched coastal spot.Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions at Beach Fabich are influenced by the rocky sea floor and moderate depth increase. The water is described as 'transparent and clean' in visitor reports, though the pebbles may pose challenges for barefoot swimmers. The beach's sheltered position offers calm conditions for swimming, though the presence of boats near the shore—some of which dock within 6 meters of the beach—has been noted as a minor disruption by visitors.Facilities and activities

Reviews
What a shame about the boats that, regardless of the rules, dock 6 meters from the beach
A small bay that is not so easy to reach. From the Glavotok campsite you walk for about 30 minutes over very uneven paths and also have to climb a bit. From the other side of the Church of St. Krsevan the path is better for walking, but you have to take a fairly long gravel road by car until you get to the parking lot. Once you reach the bay you almost feel like you are in paradise, it is quiet, shady and clean. I can recommend everyone to go there. You should definitely have good shoes.
Isolated and shaded cove until mid-afternoon, can be reached with a comfortable 15-minute walk in the typical bush of the area, isolated and quiet despite it being August 20th, there were few people, transparent and clean water, starting with pebbles and then reaches the sand, the only negative note is the presence of boats that ruin the view, but all in all an excellent cove highly recommended if you want to feel safe.
We toured several alleys... in the end this one won us over. Small but beautiful. long dirt road by car to reach it
Fairly good access along a rocky road. The beach itself is fantastic and without people. A nice corner of nature. There is an early medieval church nearby. Primorje-Gorski Kotar
