Take a trip to the zone of sun and sea and read about the five loveliest beaches we have picked out for you!

Nugal Beach

Nugal beach near Tučepi has been a popular summer destination for everyone who loves to swim without any clothes for more than 30 years. As most naturist beaches, the Nugal beach is a bit isolated. To reach it, you'll have to walk for about 30 minutes through the woods called Osejava which connects Makarska and Tučepi. Considering the bumpy terrain, we recommend not walking in flip-flops but sneakers. The beach is surrounded by tall rocks which only make it even lovelier and protect its swimmers from curious gazes. Don't forget to bring some food and drink, and put a lot of sunscreen on since there is no natural shade.


Punta Rata Beach

The most beautiful beach in Europe in 2004, Punta Rata beach is also on our loveliest beaches list. Punta Rata is a pebble beach with a sandy entrance so it's great for families with children. The beach is surrounded with tall pine trees providing nice shade and that's ideal when you wish to take a break from the sun. The beach is even lovelier because of an unusual round rock which stems from the sea and became its recognizable symbol.
