Latest reviews on Dugi island's beaches

Prasna beach
10 Lirithara Ramanujan

This beach is truly remarkable. However, the journey to get there can be quite challenging whether you decide to trek on foot or take a car. As we were traveling with two young children, we opted to drive our spacious Sharan 7N all the way to the end of the road without any issues.

Sakarun beach
8 Aria ZM

This stunning beach boasts crystal clear waters, though it may be necessary to navigate through some seaweed to fully appreciate its beauty. During warm days, it can become quite popular and busy. Pebbles line the shore, while the remainder of the beach is comprised of soft sand. To fully enjoy a swim, one may need to venture out a bit further, as the water is relatively shallow - a great feature for families with young children.

Veli Zal beach
8 Liam Skyler

Undoubtedly, this beach stands out as the most exceptional one among all the islands. Its shoreline is adorned with pebbles while the water bed is covered with fine sand. The crystal clear blue water is a sight to behold. Although we only spent an hour there, we realized that snorkeling was not an option as the seabed was mostly sandy and rocky. However, it was the perfect spot for swimming. The parking fee is quite reasonable, costing 20 kuna for two hours and 40 kuna for the whole day.

10 Jaxon Travels Siamese Land

This swimming spot is supposedly breathtaking, but let's be real, it's just another pebble beach with nothing special to offer. Sure, there are no crowds or seaweed, but that's only because no one cares to make the trek down the rugged road to get there. And if you do manage to make it, good luck finding a place to park. But hey, if you're into mediocre views and a lack of amenities, then this is the spot for you. And if you're feeling really adventurous, you can swim or kayak out to some supposedly hidden caves. But let's be honest, they're probably not that hidden if they're mentioned in every other review. Overall, this place is just another overhyped tourist trap that's not worth the effort it takes to get there. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else on the island.

Lopata beach
10 Jared Kelson.

This beach is a remarkable spot for those who love scuba diving and snorkeling. However, it is important to note that a permit is necessary to access this area, and the road leading to it can be challenging for certain vehicles.
