Vrženica Beach, often referred to as Plaža Vrženica, is a picturesque beach situated in the coastal town of Baška, Croatia. Renowned for its natural beauty and tranquil environment, the beach is a large stretch covered with pebbles and enveloped by a forested area. This forest cover provides ample shade, enhancing the beach's appeal as an idyllic spot for relaxation and leisure activities.
One of the distinguishing features of Vrženica Beach is its status as a clothing-optional beach, frequently called a 'FKK' beach. It is also recognized for its inclusivity, being known as a gay-friendly beach. Despite its sizable area, the beach is not typically crowded, allowing visitors to enjoy a somewhat secluded experience compared to other beaches in the region.
However, it's worth noting that Vrženica Beach lacks facilities in its immediate vicinity. Therefore, visitors are advised to come prepared with essential items for their beach outing.
Reaching Vrženica Beach can be done either on foot or by boat. A water taxi service is available from Baška for those opting for a boat ride. For those choosing to walk, the path leading to the beach is somewhat narrow and slippery, with a rocky terrain. Therefore, caution and appropriate footwear are recommended for this route.
Visitor reviews highlight the beauty and tranquility of the beach, with its large pebbles, ample shade from trees, and its less crowded nature being particularly appreciated. The beach's gay-friendly and clothing-optional status, along with its seclusion and suitability for long walks, are also noted as positives. However, some visitors complain about the difficult access via a slippery narrow path or boat, the rocky terrain that can be tough on the feet, and the lack of nearby facilities.
If you’re visiting Vrženica Beach, consider staying in the nearby town of Baška, which offers a range of accommodations and is just a short boat ride or walk away from the beach. Many visitors also explore the broader Krk Island, enjoying its historical sites and other beaches as part of their itinerary.
