Plaza Pisak 22A Put Bunarića 1 kat, Seline
Located in the village of Seline on Croatia's Adriatic coast, Plaza Pisak is a 950-meter straight shoreline beach characterized by gray pebbles and mountainous terrain. This pebble beach offers clear waters with a smooth depth gradient, making it suitable for families and leisure seekers. While lacking formal amenities, the beach is popular with naturists and those seeking a more rugged coastal experience.
Beach character
The beach's predominant surface consists of gray pebbles, with some areas featuring larger stones that may be uncomfortable for sunbathing. The seabed is covered in medium-sized pebbles, and the depth increases gradually, creating a safe environment for children and non-swimmers. The surrounding landscape is defined by mountainous terrain, offering panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea. Visitors have noted the presence of rocky outcrops and caves along the shore, some of which channel cold, fresh water onto the beach.
Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions are generally favorable, with clear water visibility reported by visitors. The smooth depth increase allows for easy wading, though the pebble substrate may make standing difficult for some. Snorkeling is a notable activity here, with the clear waters revealing underwater features. The beach's orientation and natural formations create a dynamic shoreline experience, with some areas offering shelter from wind while others expose visitors to sea breezes.
Facilities and activities
No formal amenities such as showers, toilets, or umbrellas are available at Plaza Pisak. The beach is primarily accessed via pebble paths, with campsites located in the surrounding area. Structured activities include snorkeling and water entertainment, though specific operators or equipment rentals are not listed in the beach catalog. The absence of formal facilities makes this a more rustic option compared to developed coastal resorts.
Access and location
Situated in Seline, a coastal village in Croatia's Dalmatian region, Plaza Pisak is accessible via Put Bunarića, a local road that connects to the beach. The mountainous terrain surrounding the beach creates a dramatic coastal backdrop, with the Adriatic Sea visible from multiple vantage points.

Practical tips
Bring a towel or mat for comfort on the pebble surface. Check crowd levels during peak season, as the beach is described as 'moderately crowded.' Consider the wind direction, as sea breezes may carry debris onto the shore. The absence of formal amenities means visitors should bring their own refreshments and shade solutions.

Reviews
The beach is beautiful, with rocks and caves from which icy water flows. The large white stones on the beach are a bit harder to lie on, but the water is so clear and the views are amazing!
Nice stone beach with limited shade.
The place is rated too high. The beach has grey sand, lots of people, and if the wind is from the sea, it will bring all sorts of sticks or leaves. The water seems to be clear, but it's definitely not a 4.7 rating. :-) An ordinary beach, nothing special to come here. All the paths to it are pebbles, there are only campsites around it.
