Five of the best beaches in Croatia

Whilst one person’s perception of a great beach may be different to another person’s, there are certain qualities in a beach that we all look out for.

Croatia is blessed with a profound amount of beautiful beaches, which cater for everyone’s individual beach desires.

With such a prolific amount of high-quality and top-notch beaches on offer, choosing the best beaches in Croatia would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

So instead we have complied five of the best beaches in Croatia.

Drazica Beach, Biograd

Just a ten minute walk from the historical town of Biograd lies the beautiful pebbled shores of Drazica Beach, which has been awarded with a Blue Flag. Fertile vegetation and the vibrant colours of beautiful flowers line the promenade at the beach., which because of its more than ample facilities, including changing cabins, showers and disabled facilities, its large aquarium and comprehensive water sport centre, remains a popular beach, particularly in the summer months.

Plat, Dubrovnik

The area of Plat is located close to Dubrovnik and, if seclusion and tranquillity is what you sought, you have come to the right place. With a shoreline hugged by cypress and pine trees, the beach at Plat provides some refreshing shade in the summer. These cosy pebbled coves are individualised by large rock formations and are just crying out to be explored.

Lone Bay, Ravinji

Situated on Croatia’s western coast, the ancient settlement of Ravinj, with its steep, narrow and cobbled streets is definitely worthy of a visit. If you have children Lone Bay at Ravinj, with its shallow water, amusement centre, hive of water sport activity and ample number of bars, restaurants and facilities, is a fantastic beach for all the family.

Saldun Bay, Ciovo

If gently dozing off on a soft sandy beach listening to the waves lapping on the shore sounds like heaven then a trip to Saldun Bay might be imperative. Located near to the UNESCO protected town of Trogir, Saldun Bay overlooks the beautiful marina here, and its facilities are exceptional.

Vrulja, Brela

If your Croatian holiday has romantic inclinations attached to it, then a visit to the romantic cove of Vrulja, where the water is crystal clear, the sunsets are divine and the whole bay is secluded by cliffs and pine trees, must be high on your holiday itinerary.
