1. Vela Plaža - Baška

The first beach on our list is the Vela Plaža (Great Beach) in Baška town. Just like its name implies, this is a big beach. It stretches over 1 800 meters. Because of its accessible location (it's located in Baška's centre), but also because of its beauty, Vela Plaža is one of the most popular beaches on Krk. However, in peak season it can get a bit crowdy. But still, it's ideal for families with children because of its long shoal and tiny pebbles. There is a caffe and restaurants that offer guests a time out from being in the sun and in the sea for too long.

Vela Plaža doesn't have a shade, so make sure you bring your parasol or if you don't have one – no worries, you can rent one on the beach.


2. Vela Luka - near Baška

This secluded beach with fine shingle surrounded by majestic hills is 6 kilometers away from town Baška. The only way to get there is by hiking through a footpath along which you can see curious sheep; or by a taxi boat that travels every day from Baška.

Vela Luka has a restaurant and you can rent out parasols and deckchairs.

Because of it's untouched surroundings and beauty it was named the most romantic beach in Croatia back in 2015.

Travel tip
We advise against going through the mountain trail during hot summer months. But, considering Krk is one of the sunniest islands in Croatia, bathing season lasts until October, so you can reserve your mountain adventure for autumn or summer.


3. Plaža Redagara – Krk

Of seven pet – friendly beaches on Krk, our choice is the sandy beach of Redagara in Krk, east from Koralj Hotel. The surrounding forest gives a large shade, and there's also a shower. The beach is secluded so your pet can enjoy the sea without any disturbance.

You can rent one together with a deckchair on the beach. Porporela is also ideal for families with children. While you're taking a break, refresh yourself in a nearby restaurant or caffe.
