For those preferring to drive, parking is available close to the beach.
Racice Beach is characterized by a pebbly terrain, complemented by concrete platforms. The pebbly section is particularly popular with families with children due to its gentle slope into the sea.

A unique feature of this beach is a water slide, adding a fun element for both young and older visitors.
The beach is known for its crystal clear water, making swimming a delightful activity.

In terms of amenities, the beach has a nearby restaurant where visitors can indulge in the local Dalmatian cuisine and savor quality wine.
The beach is not typically crowded, offering a peaceful environment for relaxation.

Visitors are also advised to bring a soft mat for added comfort while lounging on the beach. Overall, Racice Beach with its natural beauty and facilities offers an enjoyable beach experience for all its visitors.
