Andrei Mihai Popescu
This beach is a real gem, deserving of every one of its five stars! The sand is simply divine - the best I've ever laid eyes on. And the water? Oh, it's crystal clear and the most beautiful shade of blue.
If you're after a prime spot, I recommend setting your alarm for 6 am (or at least 7 am). Trust me, it's worth it! And there are plenty of eating options nearby, starting from 10 am.
Now, if you're feeling peckish in the morning and need a quick bite, there's a local store selling sandwiches - perfect for a beach picnic. And for those who want a bit more luxury, you can rent two sun loungers and an umbrella for 150 kuna.
I'm already dreaming of my next visit to this sandy paradise - can't wait to explore more beautiful beaches like this one!
