Beach character
Uvala Stara Baska II is a multi-cove beach measuring 90 meters in length and 10 meters in width, with a shoreline composed of beige pebbles. The beach is flanked by cliffs and mountains, contributing to its secluded and sheltered character. The sea floor is also covered in pebbles, with a sharp increase in depth near the shore. The beach is noted for its exceptional cleanliness, as reported by visitors, and its popularity among naturists. Its landscape offers a stark contrast to more developed coastal areas, making it ideal for those seeking solitude and a connection with nature.Swimming and shore
The beach's pebbly shoreline and sharp depth increase create a unique swimming experience. While the water is described as 'extremely clean' with visibility to the sea floor, the pebbles may make swimming uncomfortable for some. The beach is not suited for young children due to the rocky terrain, but it offers a tranquil environment for those who prefer calmer waters. The clarity of the water and the absence of strong currents make it a favorable spot for snorkeling, though the pebbles may require caution.Facilities and activities

Excellent bay for mooring, the first two coming from Krk are frequented by tourist boats. Here there is better mooring and little traffic. Also trekking opportunities with appropriate shoes.

A beautiful bay located between Plaža Zlatna Obala and Drenova bays. You can get to the bay by boat. I discovered this beautiful cove by myself and reached it on foot. I parked the car a little further from Oliven Öl Verkauf (Punat 51521), where you can leave the car on the right side of the road and go along the dirt road to the top of the hill. The path leads to the next hill. You then go further along the dirt road, over the next hill down, when you actually see this beautiful cove. I recommend plenty of fluids and suitable footwear because of the sharp stones. If you are an explorer by nature, you will definitely not regret visiting this off-road Pokrive bay. There is a suitable corner for nudists (FKK), the water is extremely clean, where you can easily see the bottom. On the left side of the bay, the seagulls have their post and it is a pleasure to watch them. Primorje-Gorski Kotar
