Zubovici beach , Zubovići
Beach character
The beach's natural features are defined by its cove shape and pebbled composition. The sea floor consists of small pebbles, which some visitors note may make it less ideal for very young children without water shoes. Depth increases gradually, allowing for shallow water exploration beyond 50 meters. This characteristic, combined with the beach's sheltered position, may contribute to its appeal for activities like snorkeling and kayaking, though the pebbles require preparation for barefoot access.Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions are influenced by the pebbled shore. While the beach is described as 'quiet and remote' in some reviews, the presence of small stones necessitates caution for swimmers. The moderate depth increase allows for extended exploration in shallower waters, though visitors are advised to bring water shoes for comfort. No formal lifeguard services or safety equipment are mentioned in the catalog, relying instead on visitor accounts of self-directed activities.Facilities and activities
Facilities are limited to what visitors describe in their accounts. A nearby bar is frequently mentioned, offering food, drinks, and toilets. Free parking is reported by at least one reviewer, though access to the beach is described as 'tricky' due to its remote location. The beach is officially associated with kayaking and surfing, with no structured amenities listed in the catalog. Visitor reports include encounters with a 'random fake-police guy' during early morning hours, though this is not framed as an official facility or service.Access and location
Zubovici Beach is situated in the Lika-Senj region of Croatia, a coastal area known for its rugged coastline and scattered settlements. The beach's remote character is emphasized in reviews, with one visitor noting its status as 'the beach that was on the brochure when you bought your camper van in Germany.' Its proximity to the village of Zubovići suggests limited road infrastructure, though free parking is available. The exact road access is not detailed in the catalog, relying instead on visitor accounts of the journey's challenges.What visitors say
Visitors consistently highlight the beach's natural beauty and opportunities for solitude, with multiple reviews describing it as 'quiet and remote.' One reviewer noted the beach's suitability for 'stargazing with friends,' while others praised the 'cool bar on the beach serving beach meals.' However, challenges include the pebbled shore, which requires water shoes, and occasional encounters with unverified local figures (e.g., the 'fake-police guy' mentioned in one review). The beach is described as 'free to enter,' with no formal admission fees reported.Practical tips
Bring water shoes to navigate the pebbled shoreline comfortably. A sun umbrella is recommended, as no natural shade is available. Arrive early to secure parking, though free parking is reported. Be prepared for potential encounters with local figures not affiliated with official services, as noted in visitor accounts. The beach's remote nature means amenities are limited to the nearby bar, which offers food, drinks, and toilets.Exploring the coast by yacht
The Lika-Senj region, where Zubovici Beach is located, is part of Croatia's Adriatic coastline, known for its dramatic cliffs and scattered anchorages. While the beach itself is not marked as a formal marina or anchorage, the surrounding area may appeal to sailors exploring the region's less-developed but scenic coastlines. Nearby settlements like Senj and Lika offer connections to broader nautical routes, though specific marina details are not provided in the catalog.Historical and Cultural Context
The Lika-Senj region has a history tied to maritime traditions, though modern tourism development remains limited compared to Croatia's more famous coastal areas.

Beach with rocks, but if you are prepared you can have a lovely time there! A bit tricky to arrive, but once you are there you will enjoy a quiet and remote beach, where you can do snorkel! Free entrance!
Beautiful beach, awesome for spending the night stargazing with your friends. This is the beach that was on the brochure when you bought your camper van in Germany! 😁 We had a great lunch at the nearby bar, really recommended, good food and service, great price. Some random fake-police guy will show up at 6,30 am asking for €70 euros in fines (or a million dollars if you pay later) but you'll just ignore his requests and invite him to join you seeing the sunrise and being the first bathing in this wonderful beach!
Nice, long DOG 🐕 beach on the left side of the parking spot. No emenetis there, but nice spot for dogs and people. You can walk then on the right side of parking for drinks, food and toilet, dogs are alowed to come to the bar but not onto that beach. Bring your sun umbrela since there is no natural shade. Btw this beach is called Plat.
Great beach with all service( bar, toilet ...)
Excellent beach! It's real name is Spat Beach. Small, uncrowded scenic beach. Covered with small stones - so maybe not for very small children. Be prepared to have water shoes. Shallow water for more than 50m. There is a cool bar on the beach serving beach meals. Prices are quite good, service is very friendly. Toilets are clean and free of charge. Free parking. Excellent choice! Lika-Senj
