Not far from the charming village of Martinscica on the western coast of Cres you’ll find the not one but two beautiful bays - Slatina bay and Tiha bay. Best known for the Slatina camp that stretches along the coast of both of them, these bays are graced with a gorgeous shore that also happens to be one of the best equipped beaches on the island.

Beach Slatina is a part of the eponymous camp but is available to all visitors, whether they are staying at the camp or not. Nesting in the landscape of pine forests, olive groves and low cliffs its pebbled terrains spreads onto the seabed of the calm azure sea. Swimming, snorkeling and diving here is safe and easy since the area has been sectioned off to prevent unwanted intrusions of pedal boats, jet skis and kayaks. This also means all of the water sports equipment is available for rent.

In addition to that you can rent beach parasols and lounging chairs, and if you need an extra beach towel, a pair of flip flops or water shoes you can purchase them in the beach equipment store near by.

The camp’s facilities include a children’s playground, a cafe and a restaurant and various ball sports courts. At the moment of writing this article, the camp is closed so if you’re visiting off-season you can use the camp’s open grounds free of charge.

One of the best things about Slatina beach is that it is a pet friendly place; in fact, it is a part of the camp’s “Camping with dogs” project. Even if you’re not a visitor at the camp, a part of the beach has been reserved for families with pets. While adhering to some standard rules is, of course, mandatory, you and your furry friends will have a fantastic time here and will be able to make best use of Slatina’s wonderful landscape, be it the beach itself or the shade of the pine trees.

The beach is easily accessible on foot, by bike or by car, with the parking lot in the vicinity of the beach.
