Beach overall scores
Uvala Meli (Primorje-Gorski Kotar) is located outside the Punta Kriza 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 coast of the Cres island, 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 bay is stunning and the ideal time to visit is in the early morning when it's less crowded. The beach has a mix of sand and stones, and the water is absolutely gorgeous. Although there are some bits of trash here and there from boats, it's still a lovely spot to relax. Plus, it's worth noting that it's a public beach with free entry for all."

"The beach boasts a beautiful sea, but accessing it may be difficult due to the rocky road that can be challenging for regular cars. Additionally, visitors should be aware that there are many wasps on the beach, which is to be expected for a wild beach. However, it is worth noting that this beach has public free entry."
