Beach overall scores
Uvala Vela Draga (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 Uvala Vela Draga, 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
"A stunning cove boasting a picturesque shoreline awaits you at this beach. Its secluded location, exclusively reachable by boat, ensures a serene and tranquil atmosphere, with minimal crowds. The crystal-clear waters are unspoiled, providing a refreshing and invigorating experience for all beach-goers."
Kira Zalmanov.
"The beach is absolutely fantastic and can be accessed via a stunning panoramic path that begins in baska. It takes roughly 90 minutes to walk there on foot, and we chose to park our car outside of the town center. While the walk can be challenging, it is certainly manageable. The beach's beauty is well worth the effort, and the water is crystal clear."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Uvala Vela Draga (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 Uvala Vela Draga (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 Uvala Vela Draga 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.
