The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive.

Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone.

The beach is absolutely gorgeous, however, it's a bit disheartening to see some litter scattered around.

For those seeking a serene escape from the bustling beaches, this quiet location is a haven. However, it is disheartening to witness litter scattered not only by tourists but also by locals, such as discarded tires and plastic bags. Additionally, the access road is paved but dusty.

The stunning sea vista and the serene surrounding of nature are the highlights of this beach. Nonetheless, the beach is covered with rocks and not a very secure place for a leisurely stroll.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Vela Draga 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 Vela Draga 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 Vela Draga 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.
