Beach overall scores
Luka beach (Istria) is located outside the Sveti Mikula settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"The beach is truly exquisite! It boasts an expansive stretch of sand, complete with ample shade and a blissful lack of crowds. The only minor drawback is that it requires a 15-20 minute walk to reach, but the payoff is well worth it if you plan on spending a few hours or even an entire day basking in its beauty."
Zyvexia
"The beach is truly magnificent. Although it requires a walk of approximately 800 to 1000 meters, the journey is quite pleasant. The beach is abundant with shade, making it an ideal spot to relax and unwind. Additionally, the shipwreck is a sight to behold and is perfect for snorkeling."
