Reviews
The road towards this beach is still under construction, but at the end of the road there's a big 3-4 parking lot. There is a little to no wave and I could recommend it for family with small kids or baby.
beach with beautifully clean sea, accessible even if you walk around you will find all kinds of services. toilets and showers are included for a fee, as well as parasols with sunbeds
Lovely peable beach, suitable for children. When we were there water was cristal clear, our two year old doughter enjoyed waves the most. But in certain moments waves caused by boats passing by were a little too high. There are natural sun umbrellas free to use. It is also possible to rent beach chairs (we didn't use it so I don't know the price). Coastline is long with many beaches and you can also enjoy the sun by lying on rocks. There are enough parking places and some are free of charge. Unfortunately prices in nearby bar were too high and I couldn't find trash bin around.
Like like like!!! Good for families, good for everyone who loves to enjoy:) I enjoyed a lot.
Nice beach, very busy and touristy. The water is super clear, lots of fish and other sealife to see. Beautiful views. There is a small naturist area fenced off at the end. Topless bathing is acceptable everywhere. Primorje-Gorski Kotar
