BEACHES

 

Baška abounds in beaches, some thirty pebbled beaches accessible to swimmers of all ages, while some of them have to be reached on foot or by boat. Still, the biggest and one of the most beautiful is Baška's Vela Plaža, the Great Beach, right in the centre of town, surrounded by bars, restaurants, pizzerias, cafes, hotels, private flats and other things all of which are an integral part of the place's attractions.
The Great Beach is a natural pebble beach, 1800 m long, which can take several thousand swimmers with ease. It's particularly suitable for children and non-swimmers.
Since 1999, the European Blue Flag has waved on Baška's Great Beach, today a trademark of Baška, as proof of the high quality and standards of the beach.

The Blue Flag for Beaches is awarded by the Foundation for Environmental Education in Europe, and symbolises a well-preserved, safe and pleasant surrounding, purity of sea and coast, and a beach that is well laid out and maintained, with a well developed system for the management of the area.

On the beach you can hire pedal boats, windsurfers, parasols, deckchairs and other things to help you have a great holiday on the beach.

It was the beaches that spearheaded the development of holidaymaking in Baška, long ago in 1908, when the first bathing area

on the island of Krk was officially opened.
Today, the purpose of the beach is just the same as it was a century ago, but now with features that ensure each visitor a safe and carefree stay.
A Beach Bylaw laid down by the Baška Municipality sets out the way in which the beaches should be used and order maintained on them:
