Latest reviews on Krk island's beaches

Stara Baska beach
8 Jason Kessler.

This beautiful beach is situated in a secluded area, offering a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. Its remote location provides a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Sv. Marak beach
4 Nikolai Petrovichov

The beach offers of an exquisite stretch of sand, unlike any other in Croatia 🇭🇷. However, it tends to get overly crowded, with hordes of people jostling for space near the shore. The water is a sight to behold, with its crystal-clear clarity, although there was a slight unpleasant odor in the air during the late afternoon. Perhaps, visiting early in the morning would provide a more pleasant experience.

Konobe beach
10 Zander Kellgren

This FKK camp is peaceful and well-maintained, with plenty of shade from pine trees. It's perfect for campers with tents or mobile homes, offering clean toilets and showers. The large pebble beach and rocky spots can be accessed through small paths throughout the camp. I highly recommend it!

Uvala Vela Draga
10 Nolan Kestrel

This beach is absolutely perfect and can be accessed by boat. It's not crowded at all and the water is incredibly clear.

Silo Plaza
10 Lingua Octave Society

This beach offers complimentary parking and admission. The shoreline is composed of smooth pebbles rather than sand, but the water is remarkably clear. The only drawback is the absence of any shady trees on the premises.

Plaza Bunculuka
10 Luka Krasnic.

This beach is a delightful gem with its pristine and well-maintained cobblestones. The campsite is immaculate, offering all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The mini market is conveniently located by the beach, making it easy to stock up on essentials. The restaurant is a spacious and inviting space, with both indoor and outdoor seating options. It's also a bakery, serving up fresh bread in the morning. Overall, this beach is a must-visit and I can't wait to return.
