Plaza Radovanjica Virski put 21, Vir
Beach character
The beach features a 760-meter length with a uniform, concrete surface that extends 10 meters from the water's edge. The depth increases gradually and smoothly, creating a relatively safe environment for swimmers.

Its straight shoreline contrasts with the more curved profiles found in other parts of the Vir coast.Swimming and shore

Reviewers have noted the beach's appeal to families, with one visitor describing 'smole stones and sand' that 'ideal for families with small children.' However, the lack of structured amenities means swimmers should bring their own towels and refreshments.Facilities and activities
