Beach Sibenik
Beach character
The beach's natural features include a 40-meter-wide expanse of small beige pebbles, with the seabed continuing in a similar pattern of medium-sized stones. Depth increases moderately, avoiding sharp drops that could pose risks. While the pebble surface may not be ideal for those seeking sandy shores, the beach offers a unique texture that some visitors find appealing. The area is described as 'straight shore,' suggesting a relatively uniform coastline profile.Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions are generally favorable, with reviews highlighting 'crystal clear' water and shallow depths suitable for leisurely activity. However, caution is advised due to the presence of sea urchins, which several visitors reported encountering. The pebble shore may make wading uncomfortable for some, though the moderate depth increase provides a gradual transition into deeper waters. Sunbathing is possible on designated sunbeds, though comfort levels vary based on user feedback.Facilities and activities
Facilities include sunbeds available for rental (€15 for one sunbed, €34 for two), with some reviewers noting that cushions are absent. Free sunbeds and umbrellas are available until 8:00 AM.

Reviews
We really enjoyed spending the afternoon here after having some tapas nearby. One sunbed was €15, and it was absolutely worth it. We swam, sunbathed, and just relaxed, such a lovely spot. Definitely recommend it if you're staying in the area and looking for a peaceful and pleasant beach day.
Wonderful beach park with a lot of different seating options and activities. Here you can enjoy in the beach to the pools. The park offers a lot of sun chairs on the beach which is on the price side but quite enjoyable. The park offers a lot of different restaurants and activities like mini golf. Although the park doesn’t not offer any sand beach which is unfortunate. It is wise to buy protective shoes for the sea since there are some places where a lot of sea urchins.

The water was clean and shallow, but the beach gravel is full of rocks. I would expected the sunbeds at least to be more comfortable considering 34 Euro paid for two. There were no cushions for them. Food options are also not compelling in the area.
The beautiful beach water is crystal clear. I arrived at the beach at 6 o'clock in the morning and there was no one there, a unique experience. You can use a sunbed and an umbrella for free until 8 o'clock until everyone wakes up, then you have to pay 15 euros for two sunbeds and an umbrella. Parking costs about 10 euros all day. There are many roaches in the water so it is good to wear some protection for your feet. Šibenik-Knin
