Omis beach , Omiš
Beach character
The beach’s defining feature is its cove shape, with a width of 60 meters and a length of 780 meters. The seabed is covered in standard-grain sand, and the water depth increases smoothly, making it safe for swimmers of all ages. Natural shade from the mountains reduces direct sun exposure, though visitors should still use sunscreen. The sand is predominantly brown, with some areas mixed with small rocks, as noted by visitors. The beach is marked as 'Recommended for all groups of people' in its authoritative features, emphasizing its accessibility.Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions are ideal for children and non-swimmers due to the shallow, clear waters. The smooth depth increase allows gradual wading, and the river’s influence near the beach creates a gentle current. The shore is lined with sand and small rocks, which some visitors note as a minor consideration. The absence of structured amenities means no showers or toilets are listed, but the beach is described as 'clean and well-maintained' in reviews.Facilities and activities

Awesome beach, great for little ones and non swimming people. Sand mixed with little rocks, but there is more sand. Swimming boots are not needed I think. Cost of service is big surprise, sadly in bad feelings.
