Lanterna Beach

Lanterna Beach is a picturesque beach located in Tar, Croatia, within one of the country's most frequented campgrounds. The beach, known for its cleanliness and excellent water quality, has been awarded the "Blue Flag". It extends for 3 km and offers a unique natural landscape with a mix of pebbles and cliffs, bathing plateaus, green lawns, and stone steps for easy access to the sea. The beach is also characterized by its natural shade provided by surrounding pine and oak trees, which is more prominent in the morning.

Amenities provided at Lanterna Beach include showers, changing rooms, and toilets. There are also two water points with showers suitable for dogs. Visitors can rent parasols and lounge chairs for comfort. In terms of activities, the beach offers a variety of sports activities both on land and in the water, such as sailing, windsurfing, horseback riding, beach volleyball, and tennis. Boat and bike rentals are also available.

In close proximity to the beach, visitors can find numerous dining options and shops. The beach area also features an outdoor pool, a paddling pool, and a playground for children, making it a family-friendly destination. Despite its popularity, Lanterna Beach maintains a sense of tranquility and privacy, with typically low crowd levels. This is partly due to its rocky nature, which may not appeal to everyone but does offer a certain level of seclusion.

It is important to note that private jet skis often operate close to the shore, which can contribute to the noise levels.
