Beach character
Mul Beach is defined by its gravel substrate, which contrasts with the more common sandy or pebbly shores found elsewhere on Pag. The beach extends for approximately 30 meters, offering a short but accessible shoreline. The presence of a children's playground is the most notable amenity, providing a dedicated space for younger visitors. The gravel surface may not be ideal for swimming but creates a stable environment for walking or exploring the shore. The beach's character reflects the natural geology of the area, where limestone and shell fragments contribute to the coarse texture of the sand.Swimming and shore
Swimming is not a primary activity at Mul Beach due to the gravelly seabed, which can make wading uncomfortable. The shore itself is more suited to leisurely walks or brief dips in shallower areas. The beach's proximity to the open sea means that wave action can vary depending on wind conditions, though the gravel provides some natural resistance to erosion. Visitors should note that the lack of deep water makes this a less conventional spot for swimming compared to other beaches on Pag.Facilities and activities
The beach's facilities are minimal but include a children's playground, which is a rare feature for a gravel shoreline. There are no reported amenities such as showers, restrooms, or umbrellas. Activities are limited to casual exploration of the shore and using the playground. The surrounding area of Zubovići offers access to Pag's broader attractions, including historic sites, traditional stone houses, and local cuisine, though these are not directly tied to the beach itself.Access and location
Mul Beach is situated in the village of Zubovići on the island of Pag, which is part of the Zadar County in Croatia. The beach is accessible via local roads connecting Zubovići to the rest of Pag. The island of Pag is known for its arid landscape, windmills, and salt pans, with the coastline featuring a mix of rocky inlets and more developed beaches. Visitors arriving by yacht may find nearby anchorages in the broader Pag region, though specific marinas are not detailed in this context.What to expect
Expect a short, gravelly shoreline with a children's playground as the primary amenity. The beach is not equipped with typical facilities like showers or parking, and swimming is not recommended due to the seabed composition. The area offers a quiet, low-key coastal experience, ideal for those seeking a brief stop along Pag's shoreline. The beach's character is shaped by its natural geology and the absence of extensive development.Practical tips
Wear sturdy footwear for walking on the gravel shore. Bring sunscreen and a hat for sun protection, as the lack of shade may increase exposure. The playground is a useful feature for families, but note that there are no nearby facilities for food or refreshments.Exploring the coast by yacht

The island's coastline, with its mix of sheltered bays and open waters, is a popular route for motor yachts and sailing boats.
