Petrcane beach

The best sandy beach near Zadar

The beaches are not always within easy reach in Croatia and if you stay in Zadar we advise you to go to Petrcane or Nin beaches to relax, alone, as a couple or with your family and  enjoy a swim in the crystal clear waters of Croatia.


Petrcane beach is particularly interesting for families as it has many water games for children. You need to pay a small entrance fee but the price is very low and you can stay as long as you want and lie back on a deckchair (which is comfortable knowing that most of the beaches are covered with pebble stones. There are not a lot of sandy beaches in Croatia.

Location : 

Ulica I 10, 23231, Petrčane, Croatia

Greeting to the Sun

Zadar Sunset

Alfred Hitchcock also said that Zadar sunsets were the most beautiful in the world and he was right. The sky takes an orange-pink colour, the sun is huge and it dips gently into the sea and offers an unforgettable and amazing show.
