Zlatni rat - BracIt is memorable because of the white pebbles that dominate the décor and they change the color and shape depending on the sea current and the wind direction.


5. VELA LUKA ON THE ISLAND OF KRK

Vela Luka beach is another stunning beach which consists of a combination of sand and small stones. You cannot arrive by car and a you have to take a walk through the woods to come to the beach. But don't worry, its well worth it!

The beach is located on a cove 1.8 kilometres long and 400 meters wide

Vela luka beach - Island Krk

Along with its size, the beach impresses with its beauty because of its sandy sea bottom and a natural source of drinkable water on its end. 

You can find a restaurant on the beach where you can enjoy a tasty meal as well as take a sun lounger and get a tan or call a taxi boat to take you back to the towns.

We recommend a visit to this beach as a day trip because of a rather long walk through the Dalmatian nature. If you feel like cheating, take a taxi boat from Baška or Vela Luka cities.

Dog beaches in Dalmatia

Other memorable mentions include the beach Vartalac on the island of Vis in the city of Komiža, Šimuni on the island of Pag, Cvitačka in Makarska city, there are pet-friendly beaches on Rab island, Istria...

There is also an amazing a bit less visited dog-friendly beach in a small town of Bilice near the city of Šibenik too, so keep that in mind during your visit to this region.

Whether you’re on a beach marked for dogs or not, you have to keep in mind that each beach has its own rules that vary from beach to beach, so ask around before your visit.
