The most beautiful Adriatic beaches that you must visit if you haven't already

The Adriatic coast is a popular holiday location for Slovenians, and every year it gains in reputation, and every year we discover a new gem. This time we present to you the most beautiful Adriatic beaches, which you may not have visited yet, but you should!

Crystal clear sea, Mediterranean vegetation that provides shade, warm sand - this is a combination that creates the perfect natural backdrop for a relaxing and idyllic vacation. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there are small bays with sandy and pebble beaches. And although some of them have already been discovered by tourists, some beaches are not yet known, which can make it easier for you to find a corner of paradise for this summer!

Stiniva, Vis

The pearl of the Split archipelago is undoubtedly the island of Vis, and its biggest pearl is the hidden wonderful beach of Stiniva, which is located in the bay, surrounded by rocks. You will only get to this hidden oasis if you are prepared to hike through narrow roads and rocks, or if you hire a water taxi, which is one of the few vessels that can even navigate through the small passage between the rocks, which is only a few meters wide .

The unit includes a seating area, a kitchen and a private bathroom with free toiletries. Towels and bed linen are also provided. Pets are allowed!

St. Ivan, Cres

One of the most beautiful beaches on Cres is hidden in Lubenice Bay. You can reach the beach on foot by going down a steep path from the town of Lubenica or by water. Due to its inaccessibility, you will be on the beach of Sv. Ivana always found a place for a quiet vacation, because there are usually not many people there. Fine pebbles and shadows under the canopy of Mediterranean vegetation will make your day perfect.

Wow, we finally found a beach that looks just as amazing as its pictures online! 😲😍 Lubenice are definitely one of the best if not even the best #beach in #croatia! And you can reach it on foot. 🤩 * According to a google search it should only be an 850m long path, which is most certainly not true. It is more like 2.5km and a 400m ascent. Meaning the way back uphill can be a bit challenging. 😅 * So if you ever go to #cres this is a must visit beach! Just remember to bring along a lot of water and wear at least sneakers (we were not prepared as we didn't have any water and wore flipflops 🙃). It took us about 50 minutes of fast walking to return back to the city. 😊 * Will you go check it out? . . . . . #lubenice #bestbeach #dronephoto #croatia #cres #islandbeach #awesomebeach #kvarner #visitkvarner #djiphotography #uphill #walking #lovecroatia #coupleadventures #vespatrip
