Reviews
The beach is clean and well-kept. Little traffic. Covered with white stones. Sitting on the shore, flipping through pebbles, you can find beautiful shells.
Clean and warm water, a bar just around the corner, unfortunately like everywhere, where there is a bar and a bit of shade there are automatically a lot of people... just walk a little next door and you are practically alone. The prices in the bar are the same as everywhere else in Čiovo.
The beach is strewn with small pebbles. Gentle descent to the sea. Perfect for families with children. The beach is crowded in places, especially at the entrance, under the trees that provide shade and around the beach bar. Just a few steps and you can find a quiet, peaceful place for yourself. There is a free (still) public shower on the beach. Water attractions (inflatables) for an additional fee.
Nice beach with a shady place. Next to it there is a shop and a bar.
An excellent beach with all-day shade. Excellent food at moderate prices in a nearby restaurant. Clean and tidy toilet without charge, showers and changing cabins right on the beach. Possibility of renting sunbeds. Split-Dalmatia
