Description

Vela Rina Bay in the south of Mali Drvenik island offers excellent shelter from the Bora winds but remains exposed to the south and east. The sandy seabed gives the water a stunning blue shimmer, inviting you to swim. Along the shore, a small beach slopes gently into the sea, creating a serene and picturesque setting. This small paradise, just a few nautical miles from Trogir, is less crowded than its larger sister island, Veli Drvenik. The Vela Rina restaurant Carubo provides three buoys for mooring, where you can enjoy a fusion of traditional Croatian flavors and modern gastronomy, showcasing the freshest fish caught by local fishermen and organic produce. Please note that via mySea you can only reserve buoys which belong to Vela Rina restaurant Carubo, and dining at the restaurant is obligatory.
