Beach character
The beach's defining feature is its cove formation, creating a sheltered environment that contrasts with the open Adriatic Sea. The shoreline consists of beige sand interspersed with black pebbles, a characteristic common to many Dalmatian beaches. Natural shade from surrounding hills offers respite during peak sunlight hours. The seabed is composed of standard-grain sand, with a gradual depth increase that is especially accommodating for young swimmers. This geological profile, combined with the beach's size, creates a space that feels both expansive and intimate.Swimming and shore
The beach's shallow, gradually deepening waters make it an ideal spot for families. Snorkeling enthusiasts will appreciate the clear visibility, with reviews noting encounters with starfish, octopus, and coral formations. The smooth transition from shallow to deeper waters reduces risks for inexperienced swimmers. While the beach is not explicitly marked as suitable for surfing, the wave conditions reported by visitors suggest it may offer opportunities for more experienced practitioners. The rocky sections of the shoreline create natural pools that are popular with children.Facilities and activities

Quieter than the other main beach on the island and water even clearer. Close to campsite. Relaxed family friendly atmosphere.

Beautiful beach with little peninsula! Low season visit (mid-May on a weekday): no people, no parking fee, no food or drinks, (supermarkt, bakery and restaurants close by), no toilets and the possibility to park almost on top of the beach.

One part of the beach is white sandy, the other one is rocky. I loved it big time! Šibenik-Knin
