Choose for the whole day
Baška’s Vela plaža runs along the town, while Rajska plaža sits in Lopar, a different base from Rab old town. Crikvenica puts a mainland town close to the beach. Think about lunch, shade and the walk home as well as swimming. A place that fits your daily routine can be more rewarding than travelling across the region to tick off a famous view.
The details to check before setting out
Check current beach access, parking, any charges and facilities with the local tourist board or operator. For step-free access, ask about the full route from your accommodation to the water; a beach label alone is not enough. Shade, sea conditions and seasonal services vary. Bring what you need for the day and follow the instructions displayed locally.
Good to know
Are there sandy beaches in Kvarner?
Yes. Rajska plaža in Lopar on Rab is a well-known sandy beach, and Crikvenica’s town beach has sandy areas. Baška’s Vela plaža on Krk is a pebble beach. Choose the exact beach rather than assuming an island has one type of shore.
