Beach overall scores
Gnjilova beach (Primorje-Gorski Kotar) is located outside the Baska 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 correct question is not how to get to Gnjilova beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"This so-called beautiful secluded bay is nothing more than a rocky and prickly nightmare. Don't even think about going for a dip without some sturdy bathing shoes, unless you want to be picking sea urchin spines out of your feet for days. And good luck getting there - it's only accessible by boat, so prepare for a bumpy and nauseating ride."
Tailored Shade Solutions
"This stunning beach has a natural, untouched beauty that is truly breathtaking. We spent countless hours soaking up the peaceful atmosphere and immersing ourselves in the crystal-clear waters. The only minor drawback is the lack of shade during the midday sun, with the only respite being found in the refreshing water or on a small rocky outcrop. Regardless, we wholeheartedly..."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Gnjilova beach (Krk island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Gnjilova beach (Krk island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Gnjilova beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
