Beach overall scores
Kayak beach (Primorje-Gorski Kotar) is located outside the Matusani 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 Rab island and the correct question is not how to get to Kayak 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 charming beach with small pebbles and crystal-clear waters that are reminiscent of a serene mountain lake. The emerald green hue of the water is truly breathtaking and makes for a picturesque view. Accessible only by boat, this hidden gem is a must-visit for those seeking a peaceful and secluded beach experience."
Aiden Kowalski
"The beach is truly delightful, accessible only by boat or ship, making it an ideal spot for a family outing. The water is so clear that you can see straight to the bottom. However, there is no sign of civilization here, so you'll have to bring your own supplies, as there are no bars, restrooms, or drinking water available."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Kayak beach (Rab 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 Kayak beach (Rab 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 Kayak 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.
