What to do in Zelenika beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the Zelenika beach can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

When it comes to what to do in Zelenika beach, it's impossible not to mention an insanely popular activity: snorkeling. The coastal waters of the region are full of interesting views, which can be observed through a snorkeling mask. Well, if you do not have the necessary equipment for snorkeling - everything can be purchased at the nearby shops.

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Zelenika beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

There is no particular indicator for the extremity of any particular activity, but if there were, then sea kayaking is definitely at the bottom of the scale. If you are a fan of this kind of entertainment, you can do your favorite activity at Zelenika beach. See what our users think about it in the reviews section.

The beach is an absolute gem, providing ample opportunities for both adults and children to indulge in various activities. The little ones can have a gala time at the playground, while the adults can flex their muscles at the training equipment. The beach handball court is an added bonus for sports enthusiasts. Although the beach is rocky, it still manages to exude a serene vibe that is perfect for a relaxing day out.

The crystal-clear water is a sight to behold at this beach, and the stunning sunset views are simply breathtaking. You can enjoy a refreshing swim without any worries of encountering any Medusa, unlike the nearby Gortanova beach which is infested with them.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Zelenika 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 Zelenika 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 Zelenika 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.
