Have you ever heard about Croatia’s
party beaches? Certainly they are not so famous as Ibiza, Spain
beaches, sometimes called the world's party capital but scrolling
this page, you will find out that Croatia is not faraway to become a
major Mecca and the best cosmopolitan mix of "clubbers" and holiday
makers on the planet.
Even it is difficult to chose the best beach in Croatia, I have decided to give you a short summary of those beaches where the
real party starts and ends on the beach, no matter if they are a
sandy beach, pebble beach, nudist beach or rocky beach. It is more
important that you have a good time offering you all kind of sports
activities , swimming, live concerts, few cocktails, in company with good looking
people, in few words a place to eat, drink and dance.
I won’t start with Dubrovnik or Split
beaches but with one, probably the only beach in Croatia with Ibiza
sense.
Zrce beach, Novalja on the island of Pag is a popular summer
resort which hosts probably the only beach in Croatia with Ibiza
sense. Zrce can be reached form Novalja by car or you can take a
small shuttle bus operating during the summer.
Zrce is a long, stretched, white pebbled beach with crystal clear
sea. The beach has numerous facilities and three popular open-air
clubs offering entertainment until “small” hours. Aquarius and
Papaya are outfits from Zagreb's popular clubs, and there is also
beach-bar Kalypso.
Aquarius is superbly equipped, it has places to eat, drink
and dance, aerobics, homemade ice cream and also a fun pool! Often
there are theme parties, bubble parties, live concerts, resident and
international DJ's playing hippiest house music.
Papaya is arranged in exotic style and it offers bar,
restaurant, VIP area, pool, water slide, jacuzzi, after beach
parties, cocktail parties, foam parties and dancing all night.
Varied music styles are played by resident and international DJ's.
Kalypso is a beach sport bar offering sand volley, darts,
badminton, then cocktails, Internet access, fast food, but also all
kinds of other fun events including Miss and Mister competition and
of course good music until morning.
On the island of Rab, ten kilometers from the town of Rab and 2 km
from the nearest place Barbat, Pudarica beach has a superb beach
club named Santos, open all night. It is Rab's first beach
club and the right place for anyone seeking good time and parties.
Soon after opening it became one of the hottest place on Croatia's
coast.

well fitted into the nature, mostly natural materials (wood, stone,
litter) are used in club's decoration.
Girandella is a attractive beach, perfect for younger clientele who
seek good time, sport, swimming and some nightlife at the beach. It
is connected by a 1,5 km promenade with the center of Rabac and it

Split's
main beach is Bacvice, mostly sandy beach famous for Picigin game, a
game played with a small ball in shallow water. It is urban, central
city beach, situated few minutes walk south past the railway
station. The beach has lifeguards, life-saving equipment, first-aid,
facilities for disabled, renting facilities, catering facilities,
showers, lockers, recycable waste facilities, parking lot. Bacvice

and this venue had adopted it with its palms and fruity cocktails. A
chic crowd congregates here to dance and enjoy the view.
O'Hara Klub is a famous hangout
with dancing untill dawn, with a full program of live rock and jazz
on summer nights
On the other side of Split - Spinut
Tribu Club -
originally conceived as a place where modern international
trends are followed and set, therby providing the guest with
complete entertainment, which makes for a good night out.
Frivolous, non-irritating and pleasant sounds in a setting one
could only wish for. Namely „TRIBU" keeps up to date in all
aspects of quality clubbing, including music and other forms of
entertainment. The stylish interior, the huge outdoor terrace
with two bars, swimming pool, VIP zone all under shadow of
bamboo sun umbrellas lend an exotic atmosphere to the whole
club.
The Okrug Beach is most popular beach on Trogir riviera. Located 5km
from Trogir center, it is easy reachable by road to Okrug Gornji
village on Ciovo. Two kilometers long gravel beach is also called
Copacabana because of its popularity. The vast number of beach bars
and few restaurants keeps this place alive through the night. There
is a water-sport center with complete water sports offer for your
active summer day.
The famous, 4 km long, well-equipped and well-kept Plava pebble
beach extends from Vodice to fishermen village Tribunj. The beach is
a mixture of concrete plateaus, pebbly and rocky areas. Along the
beach there are plenty of pine trees providing lots of shade. There
are also diving schools, windsurfing and other water sport
facilities to rent.
In the eastern part of the Vodice there are the hotel complexes
Olimpia. Near the hotel there is a sports centre and a popular
beach.
Beside for families, Vodice is very popular among younger people who
appreciate its variety of beaches, accommodation and nightlife which
includes Hacienda open-air club, one of the hottest
clubs in Croatia.
Favorite Hvar's beaches are scattered on nearby Pakleni islands.
There one can find rocky and pebble beaches, nudist beaches, but the
real party begins after swimmers return to the town. You will find
some of the best bars and clubs on the Dalmatian coast in the
fantastic ambiance of the town of Hvar. Explore the chic korzo that
rules Hvar town at night. Right on the harbor, Carpe Diem cafe/club
is situated and its after beach parties are famous. Summer,
beautiful people, few cocktails and soon you'll find yourself doing
something tomorrow you'll rather forget. It is a place to see and to
be seen.
