7. Meli beach – sandy paradise
Everyone who comes to this beach first stops and admires the natural beauty of this hidden cove. "Sand paradise" - it is often called. It is three kilometers from Punta Križ, and it can be reached by macadam road from Punta Kri. Getting to the beach is a kind of adventure and not the easiest - but believe me, it will pay off a hundredfold.
The sea is quite shallow there, so the temperature is more pleasant because of that - it's no surprise to hear that someone is there bathed in October as well. It is also ideal for romantics who want a more private vacation and time on the beach just for themselves because there are not frequent crowds.
Not to surprise you: The beach is surrounded by dense maquis, where it is not rare to meet fallow deer.
