Nestled on Croatia's stunning Kvarner Bay coast, Dramalj offers a charming and relaxed beach holiday experience. As part of the popular Crikvenica Riviera, it provides a quieter alternative to its bustling neighbour, Crikvenica, making it ideal for families and those seeking tranquility. Visitors often wonder about the beach types here; expect mostly pebble, rocky, and paved concrete beaches lining the shore, all meeting the famously clear, turquoise Adriatic Sea perfect for swimming.
Dramalj itself boasts several lovely spots. The main Dramalj Beach offers easy access right in the town centre. For a touch more nature, the nearby Kačjak peninsula features beautiful scenery with numerous coves set amongst pine trees. Another popular local choice, often favoured by families, is Omorika Beach. While Dramalj focuses on pebble and rock shores, the area caters to diverse preferences, and getting between beaches is often a pleasant walk along the coastal promenade.
Exploring slightly further afield reveals even more options. Just south in Selce, Poli Mora is a Blue Flag beach known for being particularly family-friendly. Heading north into Crikvenica, easily reached via the seaside path, you'll find the sought-after sandy sections of Crni Molo Beach. For visitors seeking specific experiences, it's useful to know that naturist-friendly coves can be found near Kačjak, and excellent dog-friendly beaches are available in nearby Crikvenica.
Whether you prefer the convenience of town beaches, the natural beauty of peninsula coves, or the sandy shores nearby, Dramalj serves as an excellent base.
