Beach character
The beach's defining feature is its cove shape, bounded by boulders that create a natural barrier. The sea floor consists of boulders, and the depth increases moderately as one moves away from the shore. This configuration makes it a suitable spot for activities like stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and surfing, though the water clarity varies according to visitor reports. The beach is described as 'busy' during high season, but its relatively small size means it can feel crowded even during off-peak times.Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions at Matovica Beach are influenced by its rocky seabed and moderate depth. Reviewers note that while the water is generally clear, some report less-than-ideal clarity. The beach's natural boulders provide shade, making it a pleasant spot during midday. The shoreline is composed of natural rock formations, with no artificial structures or sand present. The area is accessible via an asphalted path from nearby tennis courts, which some visitors describe as a scenic route.Facilities and activities
There are no official amenities listed for Matovica Beach itself. However, the area supports two primary activities: stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and surfing. These are likely facilitated by the beach's natural topography and moderate wave conditions. Nearby, the 'Café Bar del Mar' and tennis courts offer ancillary services, though these are not directly connected to the beach.Access and location
Matovica Beach is located at 77b Kampor, Kampor, Croatia.

The beach's accessibility via the asphalted path from the tennis courts is consistently praised.Practical tips

Nice beach. Tip: don't park at the large construction site (fee of €6), but drive further down to the neighboring bay with the "Café Bar del Mar" and the tennis courts. The tennis courts are also parking spaces (also €6 fee), but right on the water. From there a beautiful path leads along the water to Matovica Beach. The path is asphalted and suitable for anything with wheels (strollers, handcarts, etc.). There is no parking at Matovica Beach itself as everything is private.
