Vidovac Cesaricki - all beaches

The water at this beach in Croatia is truly the dirtiest we have ever seen. Unlike the beautiful clean pebble beaches typically found in Croatia, this part of Pag Island mostly has yellow sand, but not the fine kind you'd find in the Caribbean. The sand is not clean, as it consists of rough sand, dirt, and a lot of grime. The water is so murky that even at my height of 165 cm, I couldn't see my bright hot pink water shoes when I looked down. Not only is the water dirty, but it is also warm, making it not at all refreshing on a hot day. The beach, along with the entire stretch of shore from Pag Town, is lined with small boats and people with kids in saggy diapers going in and out of the water. With all the boats, diapers, grime, and garbage in the water, I could only go in knee-deep before I had to get out and go home because I was so grossed out. Pag Island has many pristine, sparsely populated beaches, but you won't find them anywhere near Pag Town. Unless there's a specific reason why you can't or won't venture out (such as a 50-minute drive to the other side of the island), I can't understand why anyone would choose to spend their summer days here.

Excellent

The beach on Pag is nothing but a disappointment. The so-called best beach is nothing but a crowded and overrated spot that fails to impress. The three rock pools are nothing but a gimmick and a waste of time. Don't bother visiting this beach if you're looking for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

This is a lovely spot that's perfect for families with kids. There are plenty of small, well-maintained beaches to choose from, and the water is crystal-clear with minimal boat traffic. The beaches themselves are covered in smooth pebbles and the water gradually gets deeper. You can wade out to about shoulder-depth before reaching a ridge where the water gets a bit deeper. It's a great place for children to learn to swim!

The beach offers a significant difference in height between the street parking lot and the shoreline. Despite the steep slope in the back, the 5-meter-wide strip of gravel and round pebbles is worth the trek. As the day progresses, the beach strip becomes more apparent, and the sea is full of life under the sun's warmth. The water is crystal clear, making it ideal for snorkeling around the large boulder on the left. However, it is advisable to wear water shoes due to the presence of stones. The beach is a hidden gem, away from the bustling tourist areas, leaving you in awe of its natural beauty.
