Beach overall scores
Petrina beach (Primorje-Gorski Kotar) is located outside the Zestilac 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 Krk island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Petrina beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., 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
"I really enjoy beaches that are serene and secluded, and this one fits the bill! The water is incredibly clear, and the best part is that it's completely free for the public to enter. Although it takes about a 20-minute walk to get here, it's worth it because the beach isn't overcrowded. When my group arrived, we had the entire beach to ourselves for a good two hours."

"Last year in September 2017, my friends and I went to šilo and one day I took a stroll to this stunning beach. It's worth mentioning that this beach has free public access."
