 Central Dalmatia Beaches Beaches on the Sibenik, Trogir, Omis and Makarska Rivieras are among the most stunning on the Adriatic. Rocky, sandy or pebble beaches, secluded and tranquil beaches or beaches with numerous sporting facilities, restaurants and cafes - something to suit everyone's taste. The perfect beach means different thing to different people. We looked at the quality of the beach itself, facilities at the beach, scenery and surrounding area. While some of the beaches listed here have all these qualities, some other have one aspect much predominant than the other, but overall impression of the beach deserves to be listed here.
SIBENIK RIVIERA
Pirovac, Tisno, Tribunj and Vodice, Sibenik, Brodarica, Grebastica, Zaboric, Rogoznica and the islands of the Sibenik archipelago - Kaprije, Zlarin, Zirje, Prvic and Krapanj

The Sibenik Riviera consists primarily of two types of beaches: rocky
beaches in small inlets with few houses and pebble swimming beaches in
larger centers. Apart from the public beach in Sibenik itself, there is
also a well-kept swimming beach in the Solaris tourist complex, where
you can find restaurants, shops, beach volleyball and other sports
terrains, as well as rental of water sports equipment.
Rogoznica has several beaches: the main pebble beach in the place
itself is ideal for children's play due to its shallow waters. It is
surrounded by restaurants and cafes, stores and pastry shops,
therefore, the atmosphere is always lively. Besides the main beach,
there are also several rocky beaches, mostly surrounded by dense pine
trees, so besides suntanning on the white rocks you can also find a
nice place in the shade.
The pebble beach in Primosten lies close to the waterfront with its
many restaurants and stores. The promenade will lead you to many
secluded swimming places.
The famous, 4 km long, well-equipped and well-kept Plava pebble beach
extends from Vodice to Tribunj. Besides Plava beach, there are many
smaller pebble beaches in Vodice. In Vodice you can attend diving or
windsurfing courses, while in Tribunj you can take part in an
underwater photo-safari. Grebastica, Brodarica and Zaboric, with their
pebble beaches, are great places for tranquil holidays. The summer
houses in smaller bays usually have private rocky or concrete beaches.
Zablace is known for its medicinal mud.
Secluded, rocky and sandy beaches in small bays await you on the islands of the Sibenik archipelago - Murter, Zlarin and Prvic.
TROGIR RIVIERA
Vinisce, Marina, Seget Vranjica, Donji Seget, Trogir, Ciovo, Gornji Okrug, Donji Okrug, Slatine

Trogir Riviera belongs to the most indented parts of the coast; small
inlets with smaller and larger pebbles that are separated by rocky
capes - great for suntanning and diving. We recommend the Ciovo
peninsula to those looking for beautiful sandy beaches. In Gornji and
Donji Okrug and Slatina, there are sandy and pebble beaches, while
magnificent sandy beaches can be found in certain larger inlets. You
can reach secluded bays and capes on the Ciovo peninsula on foot or by
car. These bays and capes are surrounded by pine trees and usually
consist of smooth rocks that lead right to the water. The beaches by
the summer houses in Vinisce, Kalebova luka, Kanica and Razanj are
rocky or concrete. The city of Trogir has a pebble public beach with a
variety of additional entertainment facilities and many restaurants and
cafes in the vicinity. The beach in the Medena tourist complex in Seget
offers numerous water sports, diving and windsurfing courses as well as
equipment rental.
OMIS RIVIERA
Supetar, Dugi Rat, Duce, Omis, Mimice, Marusici

The
Omis Riviera is known for its large sandy beaches. The sandy public
beach in Omis, with its many restaurants, cafes and stores, is nearly a
kilometer long and its 700 m long, warm shallow waters are great for
children's play. Many sandy beaches, several sandy and pebble inlets as
well as tranquil, secluded beaches can be found close to the fishing
settlements from Dugi rat to Duca. The entire Omis Riviera is known for
fresh water springs, the best example for this is the place Vrulje.
MAKARSKA RIVIERA
Brela, Baska Voda, Makarska, Tucepi, Podgora, Drasince, Zivogosce, Drvenik

The
60 km long Makarska Riviera is dotted with numerous pebble beaches,
known for the smooth white pebbles and sandy areas. Some of the beaches
extend for kilometers, like the one from Brela to Baska Voda. In the
vicinity of popular beaches in larger centers, there are restaurants,
pastry shops, stores, hotels and sports terrains. Due to the fine
pebbles, spacious beaches and the pleasant shade of century old pine
trees, we recommend the Makarska Riviera to families with children and
those looking for wonderful, well-maintained beaches with a wide range
of additional facilities. Besides spacious beaches, Makarska Riviera
has many secluded beaches surrounded by lime-stone rocks. The diving
and sailing clubs in all larger places organize summer diving, sailing
and windsurfing courses, and offer water sports equipment rental. In
addition to all of this, the Riviera has a few nudist beaches and
health tourism facilities.
