Vlasici beach Put Magazina 14, Vlašići
Beach character
The beach’s defining feature is its cove shape, which creates a sheltered environment ideal for leisurely swims. The seabed transitions smoothly from small pebbles near the shore to fine sand further out, with depth increasing gradually. This characteristic makes it suitable for both casual swimmers and those seeking deeper water. The beach’s natural contours are complemented by its proximity to a rugged hillside, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions at Vlasici are generally favorable, with clear water and a gradual seabed that minimizes sudden depth changes. Reviewers frequently note the water’s clarity, though one visitor observed that the beach can become overcrowded during July and August. The shoreline’s mix of pebbles and sand provides varied textures for sunbathing, though those preferring pure sand may find the pebble section less ideal.Facilities and activities
Onshore, the beach hosts a bar and two restaurants, as noted in multiple reviews. While no formal amenities like showers or parking are listed in the catalog, the presence of dining options suggests it caters to day-trippers. Water-based activities include kayaking and general water entertainment, though specifics about rental availability are not provided.Access and location

One visitor described the beach as 'ideal for kids and adults,' though others mentioned the pebble shore as a minor drawback.

Reviews
Awesome!!!💖. Lovely Beach because it is wild but really good. In the water there is sand . The water is crystal clear not really deep near the shore. Good bar and there are two restaurants too.
Clean, not too many people (end of June, weekend), there is a bar and a restaurant. Seabottom: sand. Shore: rough sand or small pebbles depending on the location.
Great Beach and water is clean
Best but very busy beach around 45 from Zadar with car. A lot of sand, for kids and adults ideal. July and August almost impossible to find a place!
Very nice pebble beach with a gradual entrance to the sea. There is fine sand in the sea. Nice environment on the left side of a rough big hill. Good views of the landscape. Zadar
