Reviews
small and still authentic fishing village. very quiet. ideal location for visiting the island of pag and its surroundings
The best. Cristal clear Adriatic. Calm and warm during summer times. Perfect for a swim. Fun sea-activities for the kids. Grab some nice local food and Karlovacko at the "Bistro Puntica" - just on the beach - picture perfect. Downside: the full beauty of sunset is not visible directly, unless you swim far out.
Paid showers (30 seconds water), you need to have coins with you. Paddleboarding is common here, but there are little buoys to attach to. Designated safe swim area. There are some trees along the road, providing shade, but the best spots are quickly occupied. Can get moderately crowdy, lots of kids around. The shore is a bit exposed here so you get some waves. Water gets deeper close to shore, requires a swimmer. Nice mountain view across the bay. Clean sea.
Very peacefull and still not discovered by crowds... if you want to avoid crowds of tourists... this is the right place. Velebit mountain view is amazing. Zadar
