It is well known that Croatia does not offer many sandy beaches as we know from other European countries. However, if you would like to visit one, you do not need to travel far from Jadrija. There is one on island of Murter, called Slanica. You will be surprised by its crystal clear water, although we recommend to visit outside high season to avoid crowds.
