Sahara Beach, Nude beach in Lopar, Croatia.
Sahara Beach is a sandy beach north of Lopar on the Adriatic island of Rab, in the northern part of the Croatian coast. It is a naturist beach, and other smaller beaches lie beside it, some of them nude beaches too.
The sources record no founding date or official designation for the beach; they describe it only as a sandy nude beach north of Lopar on Rab, with other small beaches beside it, some also nude. Its history is therefore one of informal use rather than a documented decision by the island authorities.
Sahara is a nudist beach, and the sources note that other small beaches beside it are also nude beaches. The nearest town, Lopar, is known for its sandy beaches, which draw families to this part of Rab.
