One of the stunning beaches at Krk Island

Island Krk has plenty of great beaches for you to enjoy. Almost every beach on Krk is awarded the Blue Flag. We recommend the following beaches for you to check out.

• Vela Plaza beach is situated near the town of Baska. It is 1.800 meters long and it is a combination of sand and pebbles. Alongside the beach, you will find a promenade with restaurants and cafe bars. During mid-summer (July and August) the beach can get very crowded.
• Potovosce Beach is situated on the east side of the island, near the town of Vrbnik. This pebble beach is ideal for relaxing and bathing in the crystal blue sea. Please note that this beach is quite far from Vrbnik so you will need a car or boat to get there. A bicycle is also a good choice to get there.

  Stara Baska was established by refugees fleeing the Turks during the Medieval period. Stara Baska Beach is secluded and steep. Thus, it is ideal for those, who are looking for privacy during their vacation.
