The beach is absolutely delightful, with its charming small pebbles and easy access to the water. The entry into the sea is very gentle, making it perfect for those who prefer a more relaxed and comfortable swim. Although there is no bar right on the beach, there is a shower to rinse off the salt water. It is only a short 100-meter walk to reach a nearby bar, making it an ideal location for a refreshing drink after a day of sunbathing and swimming.

This charming beach is a wonderful spot to unwind and recharge. Convenient parking is available nearby for a small fee. It's important to note that shade is scarce until later in the day and only in a limited area. However, there is a refreshing free shower and restroom facilities on site. The water is crystal clear and ideal for snorkeling. Plus, there are several nearby bars where you can enjoy delicious food and refreshing drinks.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Kostrena beach (Primorje-Gorski Kotar 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 Kostrena beach (Primorje-Gorski Kotar 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 Kostrena 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.
