Adriatic aquatics and other Croatia Sports Travel Tips

Theme: Beach Activities

You'll find beautiful deserted beaches with the clearest of clear water along the Adriatic coast
(photos 1) and others that are just concrete shelving like this one (photo 2) by the old harbour in Dubrovnik. With over 1700 kilometres of coastline stretching out around the mainland's deep bays and inlets and over 1000 islands of all shapes and sizes with a further 4000+ kilometres, there really is room for everyone, and some like it more crowded than others!

Most natural beaches are stony - hard on the feet but it's one of the reasons the water is so clear. Some are absolutely spectacular - Bol, on the island of Brac, having the most famously beautiful of all, Zlatni Rat, a huge draw for tourists that sees thousands of people come there each year, though we've stayed in Bol in June and had the beach virtually to ourselves for our morning swims (photo 3). Others are naturally rocky shelves. (photo 4). Some are right on your doorstep - others are incredibly tucked away with no obvious access to them all - though if it's beautiful enough, you can bet someone will have found a way to get to it!

If you see a beach marked FKK - be prepared for naked bodies - naturism's a big part of the Croatian beach scene and there are beaches up and down the country designated for nude swimming.

Here's a great website that will tell you all you need to know, and then some, about this beachlover's paradise.
