Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Gornja Vala (Split-Dalmatia 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 Gornja Vala (Split-Dalmatia 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 Gornja Vala 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.

It's a decent beach, but if you don't arrive early in the morning, it can be difficult to find an available spot to relax.

Although it can get a tad crowded at times, the beach is still a delightful destination.

The beach is pleasant, but there is an individual who is collecting cash for parking. There are no indications or signs for paying for a parking spot, which makes me uncertain if it is even lawful. The only thing I received was a piece of paper that anyone can purchase from anywhere.

The beach offers of fine sand and a compact size, while the ocean is generally clean. However, there are limited recreational activities to engage in. It is a suitable spot for families with young kids.
