Swimming

The choice is yours. Clear water and clean beaches are waiting. We have fully equipped beaches enriched with different activities and natural beaches, but Vrbnik offers several hidden coves with beaches accessible only by boat as well. Ideal for those who want to escape from civilization and the tourist crowds.

Men's best friend like to cool off from the summer heat as well, so we have Mala Javna - a dog friendly beach.
