Oprna

A short steep path, €30 loungers, and a bar in summer.

The hang

Oprna is a bay on Krk, about 2.6 km north-west of Stara Baška. You park above it and walk down a short but steep path, sturdy shoes advised, or arrive by boat. Entry is free; loungers and umbrellas run about €30 for the day, and there is a simple beach bar in summer. It is remote enough to stay quiet. We measured 134 metres.

The real intel

Best months · warmest sea: July (24.5 °C), then September and August. Coolest: February (11.7 °C). One year of data, 2025.
Best months · emptiest: Most of summer, by one 2018 account.
Getting there: About 2.6 km north-west of Stara Baška; park above the bay and walk down, or come by boat.
Cost reality: Free entry. Sun loungers about €30 for the day.
The catch nobody tells you: Car access is limited, and the path down is steep.
