The best beaches of the Island of Krk

Krk Beaches Overview

The Island of Krk has many nice beaches, with Baska beach also being one of the most beautiful beaches of Croatia. Beach areas ranges from fine or more coarse pebbles, sand beaches, rocky beaches through to man-made paved bathing areas.

There are a few sandy beaches on the Krk island as well as a beach in a large Soline bay known on its healing mud. Some beaches are in the secluded coves, accessible only by boat or sometimes by foot using the narrow pathways leading through island vegetation.
