Baska on the island of Krk. The island of Krk is the biggest
Croatian island and is known as an all-round island for
families with children. Beautiful sandy or pebbly beaches
and water slides for kids and wine for their parents. The
northern and western parts of the island are high, barren
and windswept. The sheltered areas nearest the southern
coast have the island’s forests and the best of its
beaches. Krk is connected with the mainland by a spectacular
long bridge and there is also international airport.
Baska is located on Krk's southern shore and abounds in
beaches. Some thirty pebbled beaches accessible to swimmers
of all ages, while some of them have to be reached on foot
or by boat. Still, the biggest and one of the most beautiful
is Baska's Vela Plaza, the Great Beach, right in the center
of town, surrounded by bars, restaurants, pizzerias, cafes,
hotels, private flats and other things all of which are
an integral part of the place's attractions.
Vela Plaza is a a natural pebble beach, combination of pebbles
and sand, and it is 1800 m long, which can take several
thousand swimmers with ease. It's particularly suitable
for children and non-swimmers. The beach has many facilities
including water sport equipment, lifeguards, lifesaving
equipment, first aid, facilities for disabled people, catering
facilities.
