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.
