User reviews
"Although it was a cool spot, I must admit that it was a tad bit stressful. The waves were particularly robust the day we visited, and they nearly reached the rocks, almost covering the entire beach. Accessing the beach wasn't the simplest either. Nonetheless, I believe it's still worth a visit."
Alyssia
"This particular beach stands out from the rest in the northern region of Croatia due to its pebble formation. It is a serene and peaceful place, with a sparse population and remnants of abandoned cement structures in the vicinity. The sea is pristine and transparent, offering a breathtaking view of the surroundings."
