User reviews
"The view is definitely the highlight of this beach, but unfortunately, everything else falls short. It's clear that the focus is solely on making a profit, which is disappointing. The umbrellas are in dire need of repair, with slats hanging and the straw looking worn. Overall, one night here is sufficient."
Sarina K.
"The beach is a delightful sight to behold, with its shallow waters and picturesque scenery. Moreover, there is a camping area where you can park your camper right by the water's edge. The cost of a spot with two beds and an umbrella is 100 kuna."
