A taxi boat is the quickest way
Several operators serve the eastern coves from the harbour, with first departures from 8:00 and services every fifteen to thirty minutes in season. Contacts are listed above, beside the departure timetable.
July and August heat
Do not set off on foot for remote coves in the middle of the day. Trails to remote beaches are mostly without shade, so in July and August the only option is a taxi boat, or setting off early and returning after 18:00.
When the bura wind blows
Baška Bay is open to the northeast, so the bura wind hits Vela plaža directly. More sheltered are the eastern beaches — Macel, Bunculuka and Jablanova — and the leeward beaches in the island’s southwest: Zlatna, Oprna and Zala near Stara Baška.
