Beach character
Beach Zamali is a narrow, straight shoreline stretching approximately 40 meters wide and 20 meters deep, with a surface dominated by gray pebbles. The sea floor mirrors this composition, creating a firm but navigable base for swimmers. The beach is flanked by mountains, offering a dramatic backdrop that contrasts with the pebbled shore. Water depth increases moderately from the shore, making it suitable for snorkeling but less ideal for toddlers. The landscape’s natural features, including scattered burned trees noted in visitor accounts, reflect the area’s rugged coastal character.Swimming and shore
Snorkeling is the primary aquatic activity at Beach Zamali, with visitors reporting encounters with marine life near the shoreline. The pebbled seabed provides a stable surface for swimmers, though the gritty texture may require caution. The beach’s moderate depth gradient allows for safe wading, but the lack of sand means it’s not optimal for young children. The sea is described as clean in reviews, though one visitor emphasized the need to clear rubbish before enjoying the area.Facilities and activities
The beach lacks formal amenities such as showers, restrooms, or umbrellas. However, its proximity to a parking lot near a beach bar suggests limited infrastructure for visitors. The sole structured activity is snorkeling, though reviews mention "sea activity for kids" without specifying equipment rentals. The absence of listed amenities aligns with the catalog’s indication of no structured facilities, though nearby Trstenik likely offers additional services for travelers.Access and location
Beach Zamali is accessible via a short walk from a parking lot near a beach bar, as noted by one reviewer. Its location in Trstenik places it within reach of regional roads and coastal routes. While no specific transport details are cataloged, the beach’s inclusion in Euro-Agent’s beaches map suggests it’s part of a broader network of Adriatic shorelines. The area’s mountainous setting implies limited road access compared to more developed coastal towns.What visitors say
Reviewers consistently highlight Beach Zamali’s tranquility and snorkeling potential, with multiple visitors noting its "not full of people" character. Agnieszka Wilkon and Pavel Jenč praised the clean sea and peaceful atmosphere, while Marc Lehner emphasized the beach’s seclusion despite the presence of burned trees. Richard Cole noted the gritty texture of the pebbles but appreciated the "lots of sea activity for kids." A recurring theme is the need to clear rubbish—Agnieszka Wilkon explicitly recommended this as a prerequisite for enjoyment.Practical tips
Bring gloves to assist with rubbish removal, as several visitors emphasized this as a necessary step for an enjoyable experience. Arrive early to secure parking near the beach bar, and consider wearing water shoes for comfort on the pebbled shore. Snorkeling gear can be brought from Trstenik or nearby towns, though no rentals are listed at the beach itself.Exploring the coast by yacht
Beach Zamali lies within the broader sailing region of Croatia’s Adriatic coast, an area popular with motor yachts and sailing boats. Euro-Agent’s yacht search platform includes vessels operating in nearby waters, with options for bareboat or skippered charters.

Very tiny stone beach. Still you can see some burned trees in the back Absolutely not crowded, a few minutes to walk from a parking lot near by the beach bar. Also snorkeling is nice here with some fish around.
