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 wont start with Dubrovnik or Split beaches but with one, probably the only beach in Croatia with Ibiza sense.
