Beach character
The beach’s defining feature is its linear shape, framed by boulders that create natural shade and a textured shoreline. The sea floor consists of boulders, which visitors should note when entering the water. Depth increases gradually from the shore, offering a mix of shallows and deeper areas. The beach’s alignment with the coast allows for unobstructed views of the Adriatic Sea, though the rocky terrain requires caution for swimmers.Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions are influenced by the boulder-strewn seabed, which can make navigation challenging for inexperienced swimmers. The moderate depth increase means the beach is suitable for casual swimming but not ideal for deep-water activities. The shoreline’s natural boulders provide resting spots and contribute to the beach’s distinctive character. SUP and surfing are popular here, with the beach’s orientation offering favorable wave patterns for surfers.Facilities and activities
Plaza Vlacica lacks formal amenities like showers or toilets, though one reviewer noted a public shower available for 2 kuna per minute. Activities include stand-up paddleboarding, surfing, and general water entertainment. The beach’s proximity to Supetar means access to nearby town facilities, though no structured amenities are present on-site. The rocky terrain necessitates water shoes for comfort.Access and location

Nice public beach, of course with rocks, I recommend to wear water shoes. There is also a public shower which costs 2 kuna/ minute. You need to have coins of 2 kunas.
