Despite its modest size, the beach’s natural contours and clear waters have earned it recognition as a 'hidden gem' in local reviews.Swimming and shore

One of the small hidden gems of Pag. Never too crowded, the sea is crystal clear, a little bit wild, but that's why we love it. 💖

Although the access to the beach is quite steep (dont try it in flipflops), the beach itself is wonderful, with clean and warm sea and no sea urchins.
