Polokva Beach Put sela 2, Kaprije, Kaprije
Beach character
The beach's defining characteristic is its cove shape, formed by natural rock formations that create a semi-enclosed bay. The pebble cover extends 10 meters inland, with smooth depth transitions making it accessible for swimmers. The beach's natural features contrast with the more developed coastal areas of the region, preserving a sense of unspoiled coastal character. The sediment composition suggests minimal erosion, with pebbles maintaining their rounded shape despite wave action.Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions benefit from the cove's natural shelter, though the pebble substrate may require caution for barefoot swimmers. The sea floor extends gradually beyond the beach, with no abrupt drop-offs noted. The depth increase is described as smooth, supporting both wading and deeper swimming. The beach's orientation faces southeast, offering extended daylight exposure during morning hours.Facilities and activities
The beach supports two primary activities: diving equipment rental and water entertainment services. While no permanent facilities are listed, nearby infrastructure includes the Liberty bar, mentioned in visitor reports as serving food and drinks. The absence of structured amenities means visitors should plan for self-sufficiency in terms of equipment and refreshments.Access and location

Reviews
Delicious food. Very fresh fish caught on the day. Served simply but very beautifully. Veey reasonable prices and some nice local wines to try. Definitely worth seeking this place out. The locstion is lovely, right by the natural bay. You get to see some lovely sunsets.
The mixed meat was mediocre, the steak in green paper was good, and the tuna was excellent. Squid standard. It seems that the price of the order is related to the chef's effort.
Great beach especially for family with small kids. Nearby is bar Liberty which serves drink and food which is great.
