Latest reviews on Primorje-Gorski Kotar's beaches

Suha Punta beach
8 Marcolinoth

The beach is quite pleasant, although it doesn't have as much sand as other beaches on this side of Rab. However, the water is exceptionally clear and there is a diverse range of marine life to observe. Additionally, it's worth noting that this beach has free public access.

Stara Baska beach
8 Kaspars Valters

The beach is typically deserted in the mornings but tends to get very busy as the day goes on.

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.

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!

Stara Porozina
10 Zachary Keller

Good for RVs

Tomasevac beach
6 Ava Karisani (Avakar)

This charming pebble beach may be on the petite side, but it is nonetheless a delightful spot to soak up some sun and sea. Be prepared for a bustling atmosphere, as the beach tends to draw a crowd, including some smokers. However, there is a playground for the little ones to enjoy, and a convenient food bar on site - just be sure to bring cash.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 49 beaches in the region, 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!
