Where to go to Croatia for a seaside vacation?
Despite the fact that the beach season opens in the first half of May, the bathing water at this time is uncomfortable (it is not warmer + 18˚C). Those who decide to come to Croatia in May can swim in the heated pools and sunbathe in the gentle sun. Since June, it becomes much warmer in the resorts, as a result of which the water warms up to + 21-22˚C.
The influx of vacationers to Croatian beaches washed by the Adriatic Sea is observed in July-August (sea water temperature + 25-26˚C). If your vacation falls in September, in the first two weeks of the month it is better to bet on resorts located in the south of Croatia (pay attention to Dubrovnik).
For scenic views and clear water, head to the Istrian peninsula; young companies will love the sandy beaches of Medulin (they provide opportunities for diving); couples with children should head for the resorts of Central Dalmatia (they will have fine-pebble beaches + comfortable and gentle entry into the water), but nudists will feel at ease on the coast of the island of Brač (covering - small pebbles).
Split
Those who come to Split are recommended to start by visiting the Diocletian's Palace (out of 15 towers you can see the remaining 3; those who want to admire Split from a height can climb the stairs to the bell tower of the Cathedral of St. the beaches of Ovcice (people flock here for the sake of spending time in a picturesque bay, as well as for the sake of a clean and calm sea; there are showers and a playground for children with swings and a trampoline on the beach), Bačvice (cover - sand + small concrete areas; at the service of vacationers - cafes and a pizzeria, as well as the Tropic beach club, where you can have fun and dance) and njan (the beach area, which is covered by small pebbles and large stones in some places, includes several isolated bays; on the njan beach, active vacationers are often engaged in windsurfing and kiteboarding, as well as kids frolic - for them there is a park with trampolines; the attention of tourists deserves ZEN Beach Club & Lounge - it pampers its guests with entertainment programs every day).
