You park under holm oaks and follow a dirt path that opens onto a long arc of smooth stones, each one worn round by tides. The bay curves gently, sheltered by low headlands on either side, so the water barely ripples even when the bora blows offshore. Families stake out territory near the central beach bar, umbrellas tilted against the morning sun, children already ankle-deep in the shallows building rock towers that won't survive the afternoon.
“Kanegra offers a rare combination of family-friendly shallows and discreet naturist areas, both sharing the same achingly clear water.”

Walk west past the volleyball net and the crowd thins. The pebbles give way to larger stones, warm enough by noon to require sandals. You'll see white towels hung from branches to mark the naturist zone, a stretch of shore where swimmers move slowly into water so clear you can count pebbles two meters down. Sailboats tack across the mouth of the bay, their sails catching light between the darker green of the hills behind Savudrija.
By mid-afternoon you're hungry enough to notice the scent of grilled branzino drifting from the konoba up the path, where locals gather at long tables under a pergola. The beach empties slightly after three, when families retreat for a nap and the serious sunbathers claim the prime stones. You stay until the light goes amber, until the water cools just enough to make you towel off and consider one more swim before you leave.
