Crvena
Luka naturist beach

from Croatia
Name
of the beach: Crvena Luka
Location of the beach: Near Crvena Luka holiday
resort, about 3km south of Biograd
How
to get there: The beach is not
very easy to find but after you finally reach it
is worth the effort.
The beach is located about 300m north of Crvena
Luka or 1km south of Kumenat beach in Biograd.
From the center of Biograd you can walk along the
shore to the south, pass Drazica and Soline beach
and finally after some 2 km you will reach Kumenat
beach. Continue walking to the south, after Kumenat
there is a dirt path all the way to Crvena Luka.
This whole area between Kumenat and Crvena Luka
is clothing optional. After some 1km of walking
you will discover beautiful pebble and sandy bay
near Crvena Luka. This is the place you're looking
for.
You can also reach Kumenat by car. From Biograd
follow signs for hotels Albamaris and Adria and
campings Soline and Ljutic. After camping Ljutic
continue driving, just follow the road and at the
end of it there is an apartment village Kumenat.
Park there and walk down to the beach. When you
reach the beach turn left and walk along the shore
using dirt path to reach Crvena Luka.
Crvena Luka resort (Blu Club) is owned by Italians
and it is some sort of closed resort. If you drive
along the old Adriatic highway (not new Zagreb-Split
motorway), after some 3 km south of Biograd you
will see a sign pointing you to Crvena Luka. If
you turn there you will come to the entrance of
Crvena Luka, but they will not let you in if you
are not guest of the resort. But after turning from
the highway to Crvena Luka, you will see a dirt
road to the right. You can turn there and drive
straight to the end of it and park your car there.
After a short walk you will come to the shore just
south of Kumenat. Then walk to the left (south)
along the shore. But if you don't want your car
to get all dusty I recommend the first option as
described above - parking at Kumenat.
And finally you can reach this beach by boat as
well, which is probably the most convenient way.
I've also seen people coming with rented kayaks.
You can rent a kayak on one of the Biograd's beaches
(Drazica, Soline), pack some stuff with you, and
paddle to Crvena Luka.
Description:
As already mentioned entire coastline between Kumenat
and Crvena Luka is clothing optional. The shore
is mostly pebbled and rocky with some shallow waters.
There is usually not many people there and you can
always find a quite spot if you prefer that. Entrance
to the water is in most places rough, despite the
shallow water, because some sharp pebbles and stones
in the water. So bring with you some good plastic
sandals.
But if you continue walking to the south you will
reach the most beautiful sandy and pebbled bay.
The bay is not large, maybe some 150m wide. The
beach is pebbled and sandy but the shoal of the
bay is entirely sandy. Water is extremely beautiful,
warm and clean, perfect for swimming, snorkeling
or playing in the shallow sandy bay. Bay is also
visited by many yachts and motor boats. They anchor
in the bay and owners usually stay nude on their
boats.
At the both sides of the bay, shore is rocky with
trees to provide shade. There aren't any facilities
on the beach so bring with you everything you need.
This is one of the most beautiful clothing optional
beach I've ever been and would recommend it to anyone
who is staying in Biograd or surroundings. It is
well worth a day visit even if you are staying further
away, all the way between Zadar and Vodice.
What bothers me a little bit is the increase of
textile sunbathers, year after year. I will never
understand why are people going to known nude beaches
and then keep their swimsuits on. But as this is
not official naturist beach, more like clothing
optional, everyone is free to choose to be with
or without swimsuits. That is why I am appealing
to all naturists staying in the area to visit this
beautiful beach and help saving it as a naturist
beach. Let's not allow textiles win!
