Baška (Vela Plaža)
Baška – Vela plaža
A resort village at the southern tip of Krk Island. Its nearly 2-km curved pebble beach is backed by barren mountains, and it ranks among the most beautiful beaches on the Adriatic.
Baška lies at the southeast tip of Krk Island. Vela plaža (the Big Beach) curves about 1.8 km long, with fine pebbles and bright blue water, backed by bare limestone ridges. Together with the island of Prvić opposite, it forms a distinctive landscape and is regularly voted one of Croatia's best beaches. The village keeps its old stone streets. In nearby Jurandvor, the Church of St. Lucy houses the Baška Tablet (about 1100), one of the earliest Glagolitic texts in Croatian. The original is in Zagreb, and a replica is displayed here. Hiking trails in the hills offer sea views and sunsets. It is about a 25-minute drive from Krk Town.
