Vela beach
Vela Beach is a wide sandy and pebbly stretch on the southern side of Krk Island in the town of Baška. It extends roughly 1.8 kilometers along the coast with rental loungers and umbrellas throughout, plus nearby cafes and restaurants offering local food and refreshments.
The beach has held the Blue Flag award since 1999, recognizing high water and environmental quality standards. This ongoing certification reflects a long-standing commitment to maintaining the site as a clean and safe bathing destination.
The beach serves as a gathering place where visitors and locals unwind together and naturally interact with one another. The relaxed pace and welcoming environment encourage people to spend quality time with family and friends while enjoying the waterfront.
Public toilets, changing rooms, and showers are available throughout the beach for comfort after swimming. Parking is conveniently located nearby, and the site is easily accessible from the town of Baška by car or boat.
The beach sits at a traditional anchorage where small boats and fishing vessels still operate today, offering visitors a glimpse of ongoing local fishing traditions. Evenings bring shimmering lights on the water, creating a romantic setting for watching sunsets.
