Soline Bay ?i?i?i 315, Čižići
Beach character
The beach's primary surface is beige sand, with the seabed composed of standard-grain sand that transitions gradually from shallow to deeper waters. This smooth depth increase is explicitly noted as suitable for children and non-swimmers. Natural shade is provided by trees along the shoreline, though no structured amenities like showers or toilets are listed in the catalog. The beach's landscape includes patches of green grass and areas of pebbles, with one reviewer noting the pebbles' sharpness and recommending water shoes. The beach is accessible via a path over rough terrain, with parking available nearby according to visitor reports.Swimming and shore
Water depth increases very smoothly, creating a safe environment for swimmers of all abilities. The shallow waters are particularly appealing to families, with one visitor describing the beach as 'perfect for kids' due to its warm water temperatures during the bathing season (early May to early October). However, the water temperature in April was noted as 'cold' by one reviewer, though they found it 'endurable.' The beach's pebbled sections, while offering opportunities for digging and play, require caution due to their sharpness, as highlighted by multiple visitors.Facilities and activities
No structured amenities are listed in the catalog, but visitor reviews mention parking availability near the beach, which is convenient for families. The beach is described as being 'away from roads,' requiring a walk over rough terrain to reach. Activities include snorkeling and cliff diving, though the latter necessitates hiking to the beach. One reviewer noted the presence of an 'enchanting harbour' nearby, though no specific facilities like showers or toilets are mentioned. A unique visitor observation was the availability of 'mud therapy' in the area, though this is not described as a formal beach service.Access and location

Reviews
Great for the kids. There is a lot of shade under the big trees right beside the water and green grass too. The water is really shallow and the beach is full of pebbles for them to play with. Digging is fun 😁 The only downside is that the pebbles are still a bit sharp so it's a good idea to wear some water shoes/sandals.
it met above my expectation! off-season visitors can enjoy isolate, quite aqua activities if you bring water shoes which did! although the water is cold, it was endurable to walk on them. I must come back there for summer! robert ketovic
quiet place with beautiful preserved nature and excellent fish results on the sea
Beautiful landscape and fresh air. One can park the car near the beach which is very confortable for families. There is also an enchanting harbour. The bay is surrounded by many kind of trees and greenery! There are no showers alond some places. Is not a good choice for those in wheelchairs (in my opinion). Mud therapy available here.
Perfect for kids. Shallow water, mud, grass, lots of shade on the beach, extremely warm water. Bathing season from early May to early October. Primorje-Gorski Kotar
