As for the main features of the beaches of Croatia, they are as follows:
Wild beaches with no infrastructure dominate the coastline of Croatia however, even here you can find a beach with a standard set of accessories: sun beds, umbrellas, restaurants, showers and toilets.
The beach exudes a mesmerizing charm that is sure to captivate anyone who sets foot on its pristine shores. It is a perfect destination for families with young ones as there are plenty of activities to keep them entertained. However, I did encounter a minor hiccup with regards to the payment for the shower facilities. The weather here is always invigorating, providing the perfect opportunity for some aquatic exercise. And when the sun sets, the view from the beach bar is simply breathtaking.
The beach lives up to its name, Divna, which means wonderful. The water is crystal clear and turquoise. During peak season, there is a beachside cafe. The only downside is the long drive and narrow road for parking.
The beach is a wonderful destination with a variety of access points to the sea, including sandy shores, rocky outcroppings, pebble beaches, and a pier. There are also plenty of options for dining and drinking at the many bars and restaurants located nearby. Additionally, visitors can enjoy a range of water sports activities. The city center is conveniently located in close proximity, making it easy to explore the local culture and attractions. Overall, this beach offers a delightful experience for all types of travelers.
This seaside spot is one of the few sandy beaches around, but don't expect it to be a hidden gem – it's a well-known local haunt. The snorkeling is a treat, with plenty of fish to ogle, but the beach itself is a bit of a mess. Cigarette butts and other bits of garbage are strewn about, and the water is coated in an unsightly layer of sunscreen and oil. The crowds are also a bit much, as campers and day-trippers alike flock to this spot. All in all, it's an okay place to take a dip if you're in a hurry to catch the ferry to Mljet, but don't expect a pristine paradise.
The beach is fantastic with its clean and pristine surroundings. Additionally, the beach has light, fine pebbles that add to its charm and beauty.
The quaint village exudes a calming ambiance that's hard to resist. The locals' tradition of lighting fires outside their homes fills the air with a delightful aroma, adding to the charm of the place. Although the beach is undoubtedly the star of the show, taking a leisurely hike around the area rewards you with breathtaking vistas that are not to be missed.
Please note that lifeguards supervise 236 beaches in the country, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
