Do I hear you sigh already? Or what actually is a beach? If this is the definition of a beach, I assure you — you can do this at pretty much every inch of the Croatian coast. With the 1, km long mainland, 1, islands and god-only-knows because god created it so gorgeous how many bays, inlets and alcoves, there is a whopping 4, km long stretch where you can meet the divine.
I mean dip your toes into the Adriatic sea. Of course they would be. They have been advertised as the best, disclosed on a map and photographed ad nauseum by professional marketers, travel bloggers and us common folk. Unless you search them out in the off-season May-June; September-October , your intimate encounter with the sea will turn into a raucous throng.

German tourists are famously hated for waking up earlier than everyone else and claiming the best spots with their towels. The best cure for those towel-pushers is the naturally changing angle of the sun!
Best Croatian beaches are usually located outside residential areas. After all, they are famous for their unspoilt wilderness.
