Vale Scura – Veli Lošinj
In the bay, there is no "infrastructure", WC, ladder access to the sea, rent of deckchairs and beach umbrellas. Untouched coast is rocky. Only on the left and right "corner" of the bay, there are small areas that provide entry into the shallow water. Otherwise jumping and climbing skills are required. In our opinion the bay is one of the most beautiful and peaceful beaches. Trees provide shade on the coast and make the sea very blue. This bay is not suitable for non swimmers.

Kriška- Veli Lošinj
About 30 minutes southwards from the center of Veli Losinj, there are two paths to Kriska – the longer path leads over the winding “lungomare” path following the coastline while the shorter path climbs to the Sv. Nikola hill and down through olive fields to the Kriska bay with its gravel beach and its 20 meter jetty. This bay also offers the best protection from “bura” winds on this side of the island.

Krivica
Krivica is a narrow bay on the south of Losinj isle, covered with pine trees and facing west. Due to its position and shape, it is the perfect harbor in case of bad weather. It will take you about an hour and a half of walk from the center of Veli Losinj climbing to Sv. Ivan and then going down to the bay itself. Rocky cascades with a wealth of sea flora and fauna are expecting you. Diving is possible for all categories of divers.

Ivan peak on the Kalvarija hill from where you have a 30-minute downhill hike to the west coast. This small bay is ready to host visitors, including a restaurant with various gourmand sea specialties.
