Crikvenica Beaches

Crikvenica is a well-loved beach destination on Croatia's Adriatic coast, known for its long Riviera stretching through charming coastal towns. It's particularly popular with families, thanks to its tradition of seaside holidays and numerous beaches suited for all ages. The sea here is famously clear and clean, with many beaches proudly flying the Blue Flag. Visitors can find a variety of shores along the Riviera, from pebbles common in the region to sought-after sandy spots.

Right in the heart of town is the main Crikvenica Main Town beach (Gradsko kupalište), a bustling spot often featuring sandy areas perfect for easy access, though entry might require a fee in summer. Nearby, Crni Molo Beach is another favourite, especially for families, due to its shallow sandy bottom. For those travelling with pets, Crikvenica offers the award-winning Podvorska Dog beach, a dedicated space for furry friends. And for a change of scenery, the Kačjak peninsula provides a beautiful escape with pine trees bordering the clear waters.

The Crikvenica Riviera connects the main town with nearby places like Dramalj and Selce, offering even more choices along a scenic coastal path. In Selce, Poli Mora beach is another very popular choice, particularly for families seeking pebbles and shallow waters. While these main beaches offer great experiences, they can get busy during peak season.
