Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Uvala Kukinica (Zadar County) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Uvala Kukinica (Zadar County) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Uvala Kukinica for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

The beach is stunning with rocks, but it's on the smaller side and lacks shade, so I suggest bringing an umbrella. It's about a 10-minute walk down a rocky hill from a nearby parking area. Flip flops are fine, but better shoes would be helpful. We arrived late and the beach was crowded, so we set up on a moderately steep rocky hill nearby with a fantastic view. It's dog-friendly and the people are friendly, with easy access to the water.

The path to the parking area is a bit rough, but doable. The beach is small but nice, with a 10-minute walk down a rocky hill to reach it, so wearing sneakers is advised. While water shoes are not necessary, they are recommended. The beach is easily accessible, but it's best to arrive early in the morning due to its size. If you prefer shade and typically bring an umbrella, consider bringing something to weigh it down or simply enjoy the sun.

This beach in Croatia is one of the best I've seen. It may be small, but there were only a few people there on Saturday.

The beach is stunningly beautiful and peaceful, with crystal-clear water. Access is via a gravel road with limited parking, and it's about a 5-minute walk, which can be a bit steep at times. It tends to get crowded during the day.
