Rijeka Beaches
Yup, you’re right, from the centre of Rijeka you can’t see too many sparkling beaches. Where do the locals go to swim? In the city itself, the grand eastern neighbourhood of Pećine has clean, rocky beaches and historic villas besides. Further east, in Kostrena, try the lovely Žurkovo cove. To the west of the city, the Bivio cove below the Kantrida neighbourhood is also good for swimming, while Preluk is perfect for winsurfers and has a great view of Opatija.Opatija itself has two good beaches, Lido and Slatina, with clean water and beautiful surroundings. Some parts are rocky, some are paved. For natural pebble beaches, head for Ičići, Medveja, or Mošćenička Draga – the furthest away, but possibly the nicest.
The islands have countless beaches which even the most princessy would have trouble finding fault with. On Krk, Baška is a spectacular beach backed by a resort, great for families, while Stara Baška is more secluded but harder to get to. Punat is great for windsurfers. Rab island is famous for its shallow sandy beaches, of which the largest and most popular is Rajska plaža (“Paradise Beach”) by the San Marino campsite. Puderica beach is Rab’s answer to Ibiza, with an all-night house club (it’s between Barbat and the ferryport). On Cres, Valun beach is at the foot of a gorgeous little hamlet, and the threat of a steep climb back up the hill is the price you pay for the beach we’ll call the most stunning at Lubenice. On Lošinj, head for Sunčana uvala (“Sunny Cove”). Susak Island is one big, sandy beach – you can swim from anywhere on its shore.
Wherever you are, if you’re prepared to move a little off the beaten track, you’ll come across clean, quiet places with the privacy to indulge in a little skinny-dipping if you so choose. Speaking of which, nudist beaches are marked FKK. Rab Island has the longest tradtion of naturism – there are several of them at Lopar, one of the most beautiful and most popular being Sahara – shallow and sandy. Kandarola is a rocky alternative. On Krk, the Banculuka campsite at Baška and Konobe in Punat are naturist, as is part of the Kovačine campsite’s beach on Cres.
Finally, if you have – or hire – a boat, that’s the perfect way to find the best beaches of all.
