They refuse to serve coffee at 2 pm, which seems a bit strange during the peak season. It appears they prioritize selling cocktails and beer, as those bring in more money. This behavior is disappointing, especially considering it's supposed to be a "nice bar". In May/September, they do offer coffee after this time, but I won't be returning.

This beach is perfect for dog owners. Although it is quite rocky and not very spacious, there are plenty of shaded spots to relax. However, the portion size of chips at the beach bar was disappointingly small and the prices were exorbitant (6€ for chips and 5.50€ for dog ice cream).

This place is absolutely incredible. It's so relaxing to sit in the shade and feel the refreshing sea breeze. The atmosphere is great, with enjoyable music playing in the background. The service is friendly and welcoming, although it does take quite a long time to place an order and receive your food and drinks. Just keep this in mind and you'll have a wonderful experience here.

I must say, this place is absolutely perfect. It's incredibly dog-friendly, offers delicious food (although the menu is small, everything on it is truly enjoyable), and serves fantastic drinks. It's the ideal spot to enjoy a sun-downer while watching the sun set into the sea. I would rate it a perfect 10 out of 10.

The beach is a truly pleasant location with reasonably priced drinks. The view of the sea is quite impressive, as it is situated right by the water with a charming beach. We had a trouble-free overnight stay in our camper without any issues. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Dog Dreams beach (Istria 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 Dog Dreams beach (Istria 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 Dog Dreams 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.
