The beach was quite congested with German tourists who had parked their caravans right behind the shore. They had spread their towels, set up tents and even brought their stand-up paddleboards with them. Even when they went back to their caravans, the beach still felt quite occupied. However, despite the crowds, it was a fantastic location to soak in the sunset while bathing in the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic Sea.

The beach is conveniently located near the city, and boasts a spacious parking area for visitors. While it may be more of a seashore than a traditional beach due to its compact size, the sparkling clear water and peaceful atmosphere make it a perfect spot for families with children or those seeking a relaxed, stress-free beach experience.

The water at this beach is crystal clear and calm, although personally I prefer a bit more wave action when swimming in the sea. However, it's a great option for families with children. The beach itself is rocky and has a classic feel to it.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Melin beach (Cres island) 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 Melin beach (Cres island) 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 Melin 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.
