Beach Jaz is a well-known beach situated in the town of Preko, part of the Ugljan Riviera in Croatia. This beach is admired for its natural beauty which includes sand and concrete slabs, with trees surrounding it that offer a natural shade. The sea around the beach is shallow, making it an ideal location for children to play, especially during high tide. Stairs are also available for easy access to the water.
A unique characteristic of Beach Jaz is that during low tide, the sea completely disappears, exposing the beach. However, during high tide, the shallow water surrounding the beach becomes a playground for children. There are slides that lead into the sea, which are particularly popular among the young visitors.
The beach offers various amenities for its visitors. These include showers, changing rooms, toilets, and a lifeguard service which ensures the safety of the beachgoers. Additional amenities include a children's playground and a waterpark which adds to the fun and excitement for the younger visitors. For those looking to relax, there are parasols and deckchairs available.
Nearby the beach, there are hospitality facilities that provide a place to rest and keep an eye on the children. The beach is also equipped with free sunbeds for visitors to use. Along the waterfront promenade, visitors can find ice cream parlors, restaurants, and bars where they can enjoy their favorite drinks and snacks.
Despite its tranquility and natural beauty, Beach Jaz tends to get crowded. It is easily accessible by ferry, with a short travel time of approximately 20 minutes from Zadar. The beach also has a small park next to it that children can explore. A few hundred meters from the beach is the small island of Galevac, which can be reached by swimming in just a few minutes.
Accommodation is available nearby for visitors looking to extend their stay, with 22 bookable properties near the beach. However, there is no information available regarding parking facilities at or near the beach.
