Croatian beaches and islands
Croatian beaches
Even the most demanding photographer in search of ideal settings will stop in front of breathtaking sights so characteristic of the
Croatian coast.
The Croatian coast offers of a whole panoply of
profoundly diverse beaches. They vary from white-pebbled beaches like
„Baska“ on the
island of Krk to rocky beaches covered with shiny crystals of sea salt that the
Adriatic coast abounds in. There are also attractive and famous beaches like
beach „Zrce“ on the
island of Pag that bears the popular title of a „Croatian Ibiza“. On „Zrce“, spectacular
night parties flow over uninterruptedly into daily leisure full of adrenaline. The
beach „Zlatni rat“ in
Bol on the island of Brac is a natural phenomenon having the shape of a triangle depending of the direction of the wind and the sea streaming. Poetically beautiful
sandy beaches that create impressions of paradise are: the
beach in Lopar at the
island of Rab, the beach in
Lumbarda and
Orebic on the
island of Korcula, the beach
Kukljica on the island of Ugljan, the beaches on the
island of Susak,
Dugi Otok and many other locations. Croatia's „hidden jewels“ of natural oases and untouched nature are many
isolated beaches in uninhabited valleys. They are a real challenge for tourists with an adventurous spirit. Lovers of naturism can experience their blending with nature on
nudist beaches like those in
Koversada and
Valalta in
Istria.
Croatian islands
Because of its
extremely indented mediterranean coastline, as one of the most indented coastlines in the world, Croatia provides full justification for being called
„the country of a thousand islands“. The number is even bigger if one takes in account all the small islands, cliffs, rocks and reefs.
Krk,
Cres and
Losinj,
Susak,
Brijuni,
Rab,
Pag,
Murter,
Brac,
Vis,
Korcula,
Lastovo,
Mljet,
Hvar,
Kornati and many more are just a part of the big book of stories about the Croatian islands.
Krk, as the
biggest island on the Croatian coast, has kept all the features of an island inspite of the fact that
its traffic has been linked with the mainland by a huge bridge. Being at the same time surrounded by the sea and connected to the mainland, gives the
island of Krk a unique opportunity to justify its status of having a
huge tourist attendance rate as well as a huge rate of
rented rooms and apartments.
