Aquamarine Beach
Split-Dalmatia4.6 ★ (13)
Aquamarine Beach is a quiet, rocky stretch of small coves west of Zlatni rat, framed by shady Aleppo pines and clear water. It is a nudist/FKK area popular with those seeking seclusion and good snorkeling, with a reliable afternoon Maestral wind favored by wind- and kitesurfers. Despite marketing that suggests otherwise, it is a public beach with no private access, and facilities are minimal.
- Best time:
- Off-season or early in the day for calm; early afternoon if you want the Maestral wind for windsurfing/kiting.
- Who it's for:
- Naturists, snorkelers and wind-sport fans wanting a shaded, uncrowded rocky cove.
