Sand in the water. Clean. Clear Water. Beautiful Beach. Can be crowded.

A huge beach, lots of street vendors which make it somewhat tacky, but overall it is not bad. Can get too crowded during summer.

Great beach but go to Zarok to the private part where you can rent an umbrella. Very cosy and relaxing.

Very dissapointing... A very crowed beach filled with rocks. The closed beach with sand in on Rab island. It' s like going to a lake. My advice: don' t waiste your money here.
