Beautiful little beach. :) _
The first bit of sea after arriving in Croatia. We just enjoyed ourselves and continued to the ferry to Pag
Quite small beach, perfect for taking a break and take a swim
Upon our arrival in Croatia, we were greeted by the breathtaking sight of the pristine beach. It was love at first sight, and we couldn't resist taking the ferry to Pag to explore more of its beauty. The crystal-clear waters and soft sand made for a truly unforgettable experience. Lika-Senj
