Beach character
The beach is a narrow cove measuring 60 meters by 10 meters, framed by natural rock formations that provide partial shade. The pebbly seabed consists of small beige stones, with water depth increasing gradually. According to the beach’s authoritative features, the area is marked by a 'moderate' depth increase, making it accessible for swimmers while still offering opportunities for snorkeling. The natural landscape includes rocky outcrops that contribute to the beach’s sheltered character, though visitors should note the 'Crowd index high season: Packed' designation from the catalog.Swimming and shore
The shallow, pebbly seabed near the shore is ideal for wading and exploring, with water clarity reported as good in visitor reviews. Snorkeling is a popular activity, with the moderate depth increase allowing access to underwater features. Kayaking is also available, though specific rental details are not listed in the catalog. The beach’s natural shade from rocky outcrops offers intermittent relief, though visitors may need to seek additional cover during midday sun.Facilities and activities

Beautiful small beach. Small little cove beach. We were the only ones at the beach and sat on the rocks and enjoyed the sun. Really nice view from here.

Nice and clean beach. 10 minutes from city of Stomorska. Difficult to find some shadows. Although nice view to the city.
