The small fishing village of Valun nests between two beaches that are often referred to as Valun beach. One of them in Zdovica, world-famous and often featured in travel magazines as one of the most beautiful beaches on the island of Cres.

Set against the backdrop of the island’s pine woods that reach all the way to the edge of the pebbled shore, Zdovica beach combines the best of the island’s wild side with the comfort of beach amenities. The sea here is incredibly clear, great for snorkeling and swimming. The terrain is made of fine gravel that eases into the seabed, making sea access easy for visitors of all ages.

Should you feel the need for some recreation other than swimming and snorkeling there are several cafes adjacent to the beach, with a larger catering offer available in the village of Valun. When they’ve had enough of splashing around in the sea the kids can simply step out of the water, shower off, and head onto the playground designed especially for them. And before the next round of swimming, the entire family can grab some ice cream, take an easy stroll down the promenade and watch the boats docking in the small harbour near by.
