As for the main features of the beaches of Croatia, they are as follows:
Wild beaches with no infrastructure dominate the coastline of Croatia however, even here you can find a beach with a standard set of accessories: sun beds, umbrellas, restaurants, showers and toilets.
Yet another beach in Croatia, I suppose. The sand is probably just as crowded and the water just as murky as all the others. I'm sure there's nothing special about it. Just another overrated tourist trap.
The beach lives up to its name, Divna, which means wonderful. The water is crystal clear and turquoise. During peak season, there is a beachside cafe. The only downside is the long drive and narrow road for parking.
The beach is a wonderful destination with a variety of access points to the sea, including sandy shores, rocky outcroppings, pebble beaches, and a pier. There are also plenty of options for dining and drinking at the many bars and restaurants located nearby. Additionally, visitors can enjoy a range of water sports activities. The city center is conveniently located in close proximity, making it easy to explore the local culture and attractions. Overall, this beach offers a delightful experience for all types of travelers.
A magnificent destination to relish and create unforgettable memories. I highly recommend visiting this place. However, kindly refrain from parking on the route leading to the camping site as it may result in a penalty of 100 kuna.
This beach is absolutely perfect! Although it may require a bit of a trek down, it is definitely worth it. Just keep in mind that if you're not staying at the nearby camp, there won't be any designated parking available. Additionally, it's worth noting that the beach features light, fine pebbles.
Free parking and tranquility are the only perks of this beach as it seems to be deserted. Upon arrival, we stumbled upon unused glass vials and syringe needles. The pebbles are round, but they sink underfoot, making it difficult to walk. The sides of the waterfront are covered in large, slippery stones and sea urchins, so it's best to dive in the first few meters. The middle section is more manageable, with smaller stones and a depth of 2 meters. The water is crystal clear, but it's also the coldest we've encountered on our trip to Croatia, including the 12th beach we've visited.
Please note that lifeguards supervise 236 beaches in the country, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
