💡 Tips

Wear an old or dark-colored swimsuit at Meline beach, as the medicinal mud can permanently stain light fabrics.
Bring water shoes; the seabed in Soline Bay is silty and can contain small stones or organic debris.
The water is extremely shallow and safe for toddlers, but you'll need to walk out quite far if you actually want to swim.
Make use of the freshwater showers on the beach to thoroughly rinse off the mud before heading back to your car.

Klimno Marina

Visit the yacht marina early in the morning when the water is still and the atmosphere is very peaceful.

Klimno is situated on the eastern coast of Krk Island, positioned within the sheltered Soline Bay. The village is named after the 14th-century Chapel of St. Clement, which stands as a testament to its long history. Klimno has a storied tradition of shipbuilding, and small shipyards can still be found in the port today, contributing to its authentic maritime atmosphere. The most famous feature of the area is the nearby Meline beach, renowned for its medicinal mud. Visitors flock here to apply the therapeutic silt, which is believed to alleviate rheumatic and skin conditions. The bay is remarkably shallow and the water warms up quickly, making it a favorite spot for families with young children from early spring until late autumn. The culinary scene in Klimno is centered around fresh seafood and the island's signature handmade pasta, šurlice. Dining at a waterfront restaurant while enjoying a glass of local Žlahtina wine is a quintessential Klimno experience. The well-equipped marina has excellent protection from the bora wind, making it a popular stop for sailors exploring the Kvarner Gulf. Beyond the beach, Klimno is surrounded by pine forests and scenic walking trails. It serves as a great starting point for visiting the Biserujka cave or the medieval town of Vrbnik. With its blend of natural therapy, maritime heritage, and peaceful vibes, Klimno is one of Krk's hidden gems, easily accessible via the Krk bridge.
