Is Kolovare Beach Zadar worth it?<\/h2>\n\n

Yes! We loved its calm setting and crystal-clear waters, ideal for swimming and relaxing. This urban beach features a grove of pine trees providing welcome natural shade. There’s everything you need for a pleasant day: showers, toilets, deckchair hire, children’s play areas, food stalls… We particularly appreciated the family atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n

Type of beach<\/h2>\n\n

Sand or no sand?<\/h3>\n\n

Like many Croatian beaches, Kolovar\u00e9 is not a large expanse of fine sand. Close to the water, you’ll find a stretch of small gravels, a few concrete modules that line the beach and create practical flat surfaces for sitting on, and further back, a pleasant wooded park. <\/p>\n\n
