Beach overall scores
Vela Draga (Primorje-Gorski Kotar) is located outside the Veli Losinj 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 Losinj 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.

"This serene and untamed shoreline is a hidden gem, but unfortunately, it's not easily reached by car. A leisurely stroll of 25-30 minutes is required to reach this picturesque spot."
