User reviews
"This beach is great for people of all ages, including kids, adults, and seniors. It's my favorite beach in the area, even better than Zambratija. They offer high-quality services, and there's a perfect café and bar just a short 2-minute walk away from the beach. You can find everything here, from pine trees to sand and concrete."
Lena Vakarova
"As the sole sandy beach in the vicinity of Umag, it tends to be quite busy. However, there is a section of the beach that now has a concrete surface and is relatively less crowded."
