The beach is a peaceful haven that comes without any cost. The water is the highlight of this place - crystal clear and refreshing. The beach is made of stones, so it's advisable to bring beach shoes to avoid any discomfort.

This beach is truly stunning and noticeably less populated than other beaches in the vicinity. While there is some litter present, it is unfortunately an unavoidable aspect of any public beach. I highly suggest investing in a pair of swim shoes as I made the mistake of only wearing flip flops and ended up with some scrapes from the rocky terrain. Luckily, there are food options located conveniently close to the tower center if you forget to pack your own. The water is crystal clear and dotted with rocky outcroppings, though I was unable to spot any starfish during my visit, despite hearing that they can be found in this area. ⭐️

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.

This cozy little beach is perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat. The night scenery is breathtaking and definitely worth admiring. However, please note that there is a staircase of approximately 150 to 200 steps to access the beach.

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.
