When to go
The beach-day index peaks in July–August; July scores 9.5/10 with highs of 29 °C, sea at 24.0 °C and 28 mm of rain.
In July that is 0.3 points above the median of the 158 beaches in Croatia covered by this atlas.
Across the year the sea averages 18.4 °C, cooler than 55% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
November is the wettest month (123 mm) and July the driest (28 mm); the yearly total is about 910 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.0 hours in December to 15.4 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 05:25 and sets at 20:32 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces north (10°). Open water fills about 31% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
At no time of year does the sun set over the sea here: sunset bearings run from 238° to 304°, behind the land.
Sunrise is over the sea in May–July.
The opposite shore is only about 5.0 km away to the north, which keeps the water sheltered from big waves. The beach is on an island of about 392 km².
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 29 m deep and 64 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 96 m above sea level 500 m inland and 123 m at 1.5 km, so the beach is backed by steep slopes or cliffs.
Within 1 km, the land is 68% tree cover, 23% shrubland and 7% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 31% of that circle.
