Beach Duboka draga

Beach Duboka draga in Vrsi

The bay of Duboka Draga is a beautiful pebble beach, just 10 minutes away from the center of Vrsi.  It is very rare to have an opportunity “to escape” and relax between the coves at such a short distance from the center, moreover, it is also accessible by car. The bay of Duboka Draga offers a magnificent view of the Velebit and crystal clear sea.
The water is so clear and blue against the backdrop of the mountains. You can’t take a bad picture here.
