Find out what makes Baska such an irresistible and unique destination for your unforgettable journey….
Baška is situated in a quiet valley, through which flows the only island’s river—Vela Rika, at a bay surrounded by vineyards, olive orchards, growths of Spanish broom, with a picturesque backdrop of the rocky mountain of Velebit and the isle of Prvić. All of these seem to naturally protect a unique, 1800 meters long beach, rightfully considered to be one of the most beautiful on the Adriatic.
Baška has won a number of prestigious tourist awards, thus claiming its place at the very top of Croatian tourism.
The biggest tourist attraction is its 2km long natural pebble beach with a sand floor—Vela plaža—stretching along the town centre, surrounded by many bars, restaurants, pizzerias and cafés. There are also sports centres offering various activities such as tennis, mini golf, soccer, underwater fishing, diving, sailing etc.
Since 1999, the European Blue Flag has flown on Baška’s Big Beach and has become a trademark of Baška, as proof of the high quality of beach standards.
The Blue Flag is awarded by the Foundation for Environmental Education in Europe, and symbolises a well-preserved, safe and pleasant surrounding, clean sea and coast, and a beach that is well maintained, with a well developed system for management of the area.
On the beach you can hire pedal boats, windsurfers, parasols, sunloungers and other things to help you spend an enjoyable and carefree time on the beach.
Along with Vela plaža, there are as many as 30 other pebble beaches you can reach on foot or by boat.
