Reviews
The most beautiful place in the whole world!
Indeed a nice beach. Almost empty early in the morning (8 am), slowly getting lively by 9:30 - 10 am. But still not very crowded and peacefull. Water is nice with gentle waves. Pebbles on the shore but bigger rocks in water, still ok also for children. Smooth entrance, not quickly deep. We saw sea urchins but only on the sides where the bigger rocks are. We were expecting sun beds or umbrellas to rent as written in other but there were none, which was better.
New upgrades to the road have made it easier to drive along the coastline to find your own private cove for the day. I just walked by yesterday and saw lots of car spots and plenty of places to relax by the sea. The water is phenomenal here! Go by the parking area and follow the street, don’t go up the major hill, stick along the coastal road. Free parking area
Beach is rather small, free parking very near but hard to find a free space (we arrived about 12.30). You can buy a spot with two sunbeds and a sun umbrella for 18€/day.
This is the beach with the most amazing view in Primosten. There are some sunbeds and sunshades (18€ for 1 sunbed/day), but no toilettes, no showers nor cafes nearby. Free parking is available. It is best to write "Osnovna skola Primosten" into navigation to get there. Once you park your car, you need to walk for a few minutes. You can get there by foot, too, its a 15 minute walk from the city center. You will pass by remains of what used to be the most popular nudist hotel in ex Yougoslavia. Šibenik-Knin
