Zrće Beach
Zrće
Croatia’s most famous party beach. Swim on the pebble shore by day, and dance all night at open-air nightclubs by night.
Zrće Beach lies in a bay about 3 km southeast of Novalja. It is about 1.5 km long, with clear water and a pebble shore that suits swimming and water sports. In summer, open-air clubs such as Papaya, Noa and Kalypso line the beach. It is known as the “Ibiza of Europe,” and major music festivals are held here. The beach itself is free, while the clubs sell tickets by event. In peak season, night shuttle buses run between Novalja and the beach, so never drive after drinking. In the off-season, the clubs close and the beach is very quiet.
Opening hours
Beach open all day; club approx. 22:00–06:00 (next day) in summer
