Island Lošinj

Whether you prefer sandy, pebbly, or rocky shores, the island has it all.

Many beaches are equipped with amenities like caffes, restaurants, and lifeguard services, ensuring a comfortable and safe experience.

For those seeking tranquility, there are numerous secluded coves with crystal-clear waters.

Accessible by foot, bike, car, or boat, Lošinj’s beaches are ideal for relaxation and exploration.

‘The island of vitality’, as it’s come to be known, is blessed with great weather, sweeping landscapes and lustrous vegetation - a combination said to have uncanny healing powers. The two larger towns on the island, Mali Lošinj, and Veli Lošinj, are surrounded by some of Croatia’s most unspoiled beaches, all of which offer clear turquoise water and the chance to spot dolphins leaping in the waves. That leads you to your next head-scratcher: which idyllic beach to choose? 

Northwest of Mali Lošinj, this long, undulating bay fringes a forested park. Čikat Bay boasts pebbled, concrete and sandy beaches. If you’re looking to get active, you’ll find a range of surfing and diving centres here, plus water aerobics and an aqua park. There are massage pavilions too, so you can wind down after a long day of watersports (or lying on the beach).

Rovenska, which shares its name with the harbour at the edge of Veli Lošinj, is popular with locals and tourists alike. That’s partly thanks to its proximity to the town centre and its ample amenities (there are showers and toilets, plus a lively beach bar where young locals gather in the evenings), and partly to its simple charm - it’s overlooked by a scattering of colourful houses, and has a long concrete boardwalk for romantic strolls into the sea.

Javorna - The dense forests surrounding this beach lend it a rich, green backdrop and unrivalled seclusion. Shallow waters make it ideal for swimming with children, although you might want to pack swim shoes - the clear sea comes with a bed of rocky soil.

One of the most stunning wild beaches on Lošinj, Zabodarski comes complete with smooth pebbles, ample shady pine trees, and shallow water - making it ideal for family trips. It’s just 8km from Mali Lošinj, and easily accessible by car. Despite the ease of access, it’s rarely overcrowded, so you can enjoy its views of distant islets in peace.
