Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Lopata beach (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 Lopata beach (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 Lopata beach 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.

Nestled on a scenic cape Lopata, lies a serene and unspoiled beach that is actually two beaches combined. The beach boasts a rugged and natural terrain, with no man-made structures to mar its beauty. However, it lacks any form of shade, so be sure to pack a hat and sunscreen. The beach is perfect for those seeking a secluded and tranquil escape, and is also welcoming to nudists who prefer a more liberating experience. Compared to the nearby Sakarun beach, this hidden gem is just a short 5-minute walk away, making it a must-visit destination for those who appreciate the beauty of nature.

The beach presents a dual personality, with both unruly and serene waves crashing onto the shore. The water is pristine and unspoiled, and the number of visitors is limited, making it an ideal spot to unwind and de-stress.

This beach is a remarkable spot for those who love scuba diving and snorkeling. However, it is important to note that a permit is necessary to access this area, and the road leading to it can be challenging for certain vehicles.

During my recent visit to the beach with my children, we were disappointed to find litter, including syringes, scattered about. Within a mere five minutes, my little ones were already pleading to leave.

I would choose this beach over Sakarya beach any day. It is far more peaceful and picturesque, with breathtaking views. Although the drive to get there may be a bit challenging, we opted to take a leisurely stroll from Sakarun beach, which took us only 20 minutes and was definitely worth it. The beauty of this beach is truly unmatched.
