Pralisce Beach

The beach is literally across the street — 30 meters from the entrance, a one-minute walk. You can hear the sea from the apartment, and dip your feet in the water before your towel even hits the sunbed. The beach is pebble with some sand.

To be completely honest: Prališće is a pebble beach with some sand — not fine sand like Greek or Caribbean beaches. The pebbles are fine and rounded, not rough, and parts of the beach have genuine sand. For the Croatian coast, this is much better than most surrounding beaches — there are no sharp rocks or large pebbles that hurt your feet. The entry into the sea is gentle and safe for children.

Our beach is called Prališće — a local name from ancient times when women used to wash laundry in the sea there. That is where the name comes from — from 'pralo' (washing place).

Ideal for little ones — fine, rounded pebbles with some sand, a shallow entry into the sea (you can walk 20–30 m and it is still knee-deep), and a playground 200 m away. Parents often tell us that their children took their first swim right here at Prališće.

There is no dedicated fence or permanent lifeguard — it is a public beach in a quiet bay. Parents supervise their children themselves.

We have several of our own sun loungers that we lend to guests free of charge — just check with Ivica; if they are available on your day, they are yours. It operates on a first-come, first-served basis. There is also commercial rental right on the beach if you don't manage to get ours.

Yes, there is a public shower (cold water) on the beach to rinse off salt and sand.

Rico bar is literally on the beach — coffee in the morning, beer in the afternoon, ice cream for the kids, cocktails at dusk. They also have a grill where they prepare excellent French fries (the owner's personal recommendation) and burgers, plus other fast food. Local charm: vendors stroll along the beach during the day selling boiled corn and fritule (sweet Dalmatian fried dough pastries) — an authentic experience.

Feel free to bring your own gear — snorkeling mask, kayak, paddle board, whatever you like. The sea in Marina and the surrounding area is clean and clear, ideal for snorkeling. If you need storage space (for a kayak or SUP), check with Ivica — he will help store your equipment in a secure spot between uses.

The sea warms up gradually — in May it is still fresh (18–20°C, for the brave), in June it is perfect for most (21–23°C). The peak is July and August — 24–26°C, like a warm bath. September is often the best month: the sea is still 22–24°C, with fewer crowds.
