When it comes to what to do in Petarcica 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.

The beach is extremely small and lacks public parking, giving it the appearance of a private beach. Access to the beach is also quite difficult. While it may be visually appealing for taking photos, it doesn't offer much beyond that.
