Follow the waterfront promenade heading toward the hotel zone; the beach is situated between the town and the more developed resort areas. If driving, use parking facilities in Krk Town (paid in summer) and walk to the beach. The beach is well-connected by local paths but less signposted than major beaches, which contributes to its quieter nature. No special transportation is needed.
