Paid access to the beach, 5 eur for Adult daily visitor.

Vrezenica
10 Jasmine K.

This beach is a hidden gem, only accessible by boat or a scenic hour-long walk from Baška city. Despite being a lengthy stretch of sand, it remains unpopulated even during the peak season. The absence of amenities such as bars, toilets, and showers is compensated by the unspoiled beauty of nature. It's the perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in the tranquil sounds of the sea and chirping birds. If you're fortunate, you may even spot some wild goats. By following the yellow-white tourist sign, you'll discover a stunning canyon. It's recommended to wear good shoes and bring water, and you can even snack on some fresh berries along the way.

Uvala Vela Draga

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

Vela beach
10 Aurora Delgado

It's impossible to put into words how stunning this beach is. Even photos don't do it justice. The water is crystal clear and although it's chilly, it's incredibly refreshing in the scorching 31+ degree Celsius heat. I absolutely adored it.

Vela luka beach
10 Nika Vodáková

The beach offers an undeniably picturesque view of the crystal-clear ocean and majestic mountains, but don't let that fool you. While the lack of crowds may seem like a perk, it's likely due to the less-than-ideal conditions. The swimming space may be ample, but don't be surprised if you find yourself sharing it with some unsavory sea creatures. Overall, a decent spot for a dip, but don't expect a luxurious beach experience.

Plaza Senj II
10 Vani Vance

We managed to secure a last-minute booking for a camper van spot. Unfortunately, our van encountered some issues, so we made the decision to stay overnight. The beach is situated right in front of the designated parking area for vans, although it lacks shade for scorching summer days. However, since our stay was only for one night, it worked out perfectly. The konoba and bar on-site are quite enjoyable. Additionally, the showers and toilets are exceptionally clean! Another great aspect is that dogs are allowed. Moreover, the price is reasonable. Furthermore, the city center is conveniently just a three-minute walk away!

The warmest month during the year in this area is August, with the air temperature rising up to 30.5°C and the water temperature up to 26.9°C. The coldest month is January, with the air temperature dropping down to 8.4°C and the water temperature down to 10.7°C.
