The Best Beaches

Baska (Krk Island): This is a sun-lover's paradise, with more than 30 beaches of varying size and a promenade that skirts most of them. Baska's beaches once were sand, but today the sand is covered with pebbles that extend a few feet into the water. That doesn't diminish their appeal because beach chairs, umbrellas, and padded mats are readily available on the promenade.

Novalja (Pag Island): Any cove off Novalja can be a private beach. The water just a few feet offshore is so clear you can see the white, sandy bottom 6m (20 ft.) below. If you have a boat, drop anchor for a while, take a dip, and let your stress float away.

Zlatni Rat (Brac Island): You must visit this beach just so you can say you did. This is the famous strip usually photographed from the air in all the Croatia ads. In aerials, Zlatni Rat resembles a green finger rimmed with sand and tipped with a curling tendril extending into the sapphire sea. From ground level, it is a sun-blasted, pebbled landscape covered with a huge international crowd soaking up the rays and the local culture.

Orebic (Peljesac Peninsula): The civilized beach gently rolls into the sea. This is a place where families spend the day together and, at the end of the day, Mom brings covered bowls full of fruit down to kids who don't want to leave their sand castles and snorkels for dinner. The water is warm, the sun constant, and the people as nice as they come.
