Reviews
A beautiful beach where everyone will find a secluded place.
Very good place for nude sunbathing and swimming.
It's a pity, people do not respect FKK. When I visited it, it was 100% of people in swimming suites. We had to go further to find some privacy and feel comfortable. Access to the beach and to the nearest coves is a bit challenging and proper shoes might be required. Otherwise it is a very beautiful place. There is no legal parking spots there however people leave their cars to the sides of the dirty road.
Beautiful and secluded spot! To get there, follow the road along the coast through Jakiruša. At some point you'll reach the end of the paved road. There are a few parking spots right here, or you can keep on down the dirt road, and you'll eventually come to a rough parking lot, where the dirt road turns into a bicycle path. From there, you'll pick your way down some pretty well marked dirt paths, as you climb down the cliff towards the water. Doing this, there is a large beach to the left, or you can continue to the right, where there are many small natural coves, each of which is only large enough for a few people. Small soft stones make up the beach, which make this a better and more comfortable option that the Baska Voda FKK beach nearby. Split-Dalmatia
