My advice is to explore the nearby promenade in the evening around 7 PM. The sunset view is stunning, and it's a great way to wind down after a day at the beach.

I recommend wearing water shoes! The pebbly beach can be a bit tough on the feet, and my friend ended up with sore soles after our visit. Avoid that mistake!

I recommend using the shuttle bus from Opatija instead of driving. Parking is a pain and the bus drops you off right by the beach – super conveinient!

Bring your own snacks and drinks to save some cash. The beach bars can get pricey, and trust me, a cold drink while sunbathing is a must.

I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks to save some money – the beach bars can be a bit pricey. Pack a cooler and enjoy a picnic instead!

I recommend checking out the little paths around the beach for some stunning views. You might find a perfect spot to take photos without all the crowds!

If you're planning to go for a swim, do it before noon. The water is way calmer and you'll avoid the crowds. After lunch, it gets pretty busy!

I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks to the beach. The nearby cafes can be pricey, and you'll save a lot. Plus, it's nice to have your favorites while lounging in the sun.

Don't forget to explore the little paths behind the beach. I found some hidden coves that were way more tranquil than the main area, perfect for escaping the crowds.

I think you should bring some water shoes, especially if you want to explore around. The rocky areas can be a bit tough on the feet, so better safe than sorry

If you’re planning to rent a sunbed, do it early! I thought I could grab one later in the day, but they were all taken by noon. Plus, it’s nicer to chill out on a comfy bed instead of the rocks.

I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks. The beach bar prices can be a bit steep, and I ended up paying way more than expected. Also, the beach is lovely, and having a picnic there is just perfect.

My advice is to visit in the late afternoon, around 5 PM. The sun is not as intense, and you can enjoy a quieter atmosphere, making it perfect for a chill swim and sunset pics.

I think it's worth it to rent a sunbed for the day if you plan to stay a while. It’s super comfy and you get a little privacy from the beach chaos. Just make sure to haggle a bit!

I think walking the scenic path from Opatija to Volosko is worth it... The views are stunning, but don’t forget your comfy shoes, the path can be a bit uneven!

Get there by around 9 AM to snag a good spot. Trust me, it gets crowded fast and you don’t want to be stuck in the back.

I suggest getting to Preluk Beach by around 9 AM to snag a good spot! The sun gets pretty crowded later, and trust me, an early start means more space to spread out your towel.

I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks. The beachfront cafes can be a bit pricey and I spent way too much on a simple sandwich. Packing a picnic saved me money and was way more enjoyable!

I recommend bringing some snacks and water because the cafes near the beach can be a bit pricey. Having your own supplies saved me some cash, and I could enjoy a picnic vibe by the water.

Make sure to check the weather before visiting! If it rains, it can get muddy outside and you might find it hard to get to the entrance. I got covered in mud, and a wet wipe woud have been life-saver!

I recommend wearing good shoes! The paths can be slippery and rocky inside the cave and I almost slipped a couple of times. It made me wish I had better grip on my shoes
