Sandy beaches

Compare real sand, shallower bays and the practical details that make a family day easier.

Sand does not answer every question

Rajska Plaža and Bijeca are sandy starting points; Sakarun combines its pale bay with a more involved island journey. Decide whether you want sand for sitting, a soft seabed for wading, or both. The material at the waterline can vary.

Before a family visit

Check how far you will carry bags, where you can find shade, and whether the facilities you need are open. Shallow water can become crowded and is never a substitute for supervision.
