Beautiful place with sandy beach and two restaurants.

Beautiful beach, nice sand, a little of bit cold water. The prices at the restaurant are expensive. A croissant 3€ for example.

Best beach in Croatia! It is sandy until few meters outside of water and then and then rocky, with a lot of shade. There is a toilet with water and soap, clean. On it there are two restaurants that serve nice food. You definitely need to go here after the Modra spilja. The country boat service from Komiza can get you here and back for 50kn.

Beautiful sandy beach. It was not too crowdy, kids enjoyed every minute. Beach is clean, there are 2 places where you can eat and drink. And pine wood when you want to stay away from the sun
