Beaches in Croatia

There are many beautiful coastal stretches along the island of Losinj, which also includes quite a few beaches. Probably the most famous is Veli Zal, located in Suncana uvala, or the 'sunny bay'. From the centre of Mali Lošinj, which is the largest town on the island, it is only a 20-minute walk down to the beautiful beach, which has also been awarded international prizes for cleanliness and good quality. There are toilets, showers and changing rooms as well as sun loungers with parasols. Around the beach there is a spruce forest which can help with some shade on some of the hot summer days, and why not become a captain for a day, the boat hire in Veli Zal is very popular.

Zrće Beach on Pag Island is the place to be for anyone looking for nonstop entertainment. Known for its open-air clubs, international DJs, and summer music festivals, the beach draws crowds from across Europe. During the day, you can relax on the pebbly shore or try jet skiing and wakeboarding. At night, the beach comes alive with lights, music, and unforgettable parties that often last until sunrise.

Bačva Beach is a small hidden beach with nice bathing conditions. The beach is also home to interesting wildlife, including sea urchins, small and large fish. The bay has interesting terrain and underwater caves that can be explored with snorkels and goggles. There is also a restaurant on the beach serving seafood. You can also rent sun loungers with parasols for HRK 30 for the whole day and kayaks for HRK 50. The small, hidden beach doesn't have much space, so it's a good idea to arrive early in the day so you can get a spot. Getting to the beach can be a challenge for those with walking difficulties, as the road is narrow and steep.
