1. Mala Raduča Beach
- Primošten’s most popular beach, located steps from the Old Town
- Pebble beach with gradual entry — perfect for kids
- Facilities: cafes, changing cabins, showers
Mala Raduča is ideal for families and casual swimmers. It can get crowded in July–August, so come early. You can also find nearby rentals with direct access — check local apartments on Booking.com.
2. Velika Raduča Beach
- Longer and wider than Mala Raduča, with a relaxed vibe
- Plenty of room for beach games or lounging with a laptop
- Good shade options under pine trees
This is a better choice for those wanting more space or peace. Digital nomads often use the shaded areas as open-air workspaces (with a mobile hotspot). Don’t forget to bring a good travel chair or a portable table.
3. Garbina Beach
- Located on the western edge of the peninsula
- Small and peaceful with excellent sunset views
- No facilities — bring water and snacks
Perfect for couples or those looking to escape the crowd. The rocky terrain makes it less suitable for families, but a dream for quiet reading or journaling.
4. Porat Beach (Bilo area)
- Located about 10 minutes south of Primošten by car
- Smooth stones, super clear water, fewer tourists
- Great for snorkeling and paddleboarding
If you have a rental car or don’t mind biking, Porat offers a much calmer atmosphere than the central beaches. Bring your own equipment or check out our gear guide for snorkeling kits.

- Best accessed by boat or scooter
- No services — pure nature
Great option for adventurous travelers. No cell coverage in some corners, which is perfect if you’re looking for a digital detox day. Tip: use Google Maps satellite to locate the path in advance.
