Less list. More feeling.

  1. 01

    Dundo Forest Beach

    Rab · beach

    Beaches hidden deep in the Dundo forest. It's a twenty-minute walk through the shade of holm oaks, and the water feels cooler as the sun only hits it later.

  2. 02

    Špilja Cove

    Rab · beach

    A hidden cove behind Lopar. Reachable by boat or a scrambly hike over the rocks. Get here early in the morning and you'll have it entirely to yourself.

  3. 03

    Kandarola Beach

    Kampor · beach

    You walk through a thick pine forest and suddenly turquoise water opens up in front of you. A standout Frkanj peninsula moment.

  4. 04

    Stolac Beach

    Lopar · beach

    A wild naturist cove. Even if that's not your style, the shallow rock pools left behind by the tide are beautiful to see.

  5. 05

    FKK Lopar (Nudist Zone)

    Lopar · beach

    If Sahara feels too busy for you, head a bit further. Fewer people, more silence.

  6. 06

    Tenka Cove

    Barbat · beach

    A cove on the Barbat side protected from the bura wind. Accessed via a dirt track with nothing but sea around — bring plenty of water.

  7. 07

    Lopata Cove

    Lopar · beach

    A tiny pebble cove looking out towards Goli Otok. The parking is small and steep, which keeps the crowds away.

  8. 08

    Potočnica Cove

    Lopar · beach

    A lesser-known cove in Supetarska Draga. A mix of fine pebbles and sand on the north side of the bay, ideal for a quiet afternoon.
