💡 Tips

  • Take the scenic coastal walking path over the hill from neighboring Petrovac.
  • Bring water shoes, as the long beach is predominantly made of pebbles and rocks.
  • Carry enough cash, as ATMs are scarce and card payments aren't always accepted at small beach bars.
  • Head to the far southern end of the beach for a much quieter, less developed experience.
