Stara Baška & Oprna Bay
Stara Baška / Oprna
A small fishing village beneath the barren limestone coast of the island's south, and Oprna Bay, with crystal-clear turquoise water, is one of Krk's most photogenic bays.
Stara Baška lies south of Punat. It is reached by a road over a bare limestone hillside, with almost no trees around, which makes the sea look especially blue. Nearby Oprna Bay is a small pebble cove with clear water suitable for snorkelling, and the hairpin bend at the top of the slope is a popular spot for panoramic photos. Facilities are basic, with a beach bar, and there is no shade in summer, so bring an umbrella and sunscreen. It is about a 20-minute drive from Punat. The mountain road is narrow, so take care when passing other vehicles.
