The summer sea temperatures vary from 25 to 27 degrees Celsius.
The island offers beaches to fit everyone’s taste: rocky beach in the west, pebble beach in the east, and sand beaches in the north of the island.
The most popular beaches on the island are:
“Paradise beach”, “Mel” in Kampor, “St. Mara”,
“Pudarica”, “Gonar”, “Sahara”, “Frkanj”, “Čifnata”,
“Matovica”, “The Gipsy”, “Caroline” and numerous others.
Those appreciative of piece and quiet will find bays on the
forest covered peninsula Kalifrant especially interesting.
Moments on those beaches are moments to last you a lifetime – rock, small stones and green forest contrasting with the blue Adriatic.
Rab is ideal for volleyball on sand. We would like to mention sand beaches with volleyball tournaments: “Mel” in Kampor, “Paradise beach” in Lopar (where at least one of the Croatian Volleyball Cup tournaments is being held every year) and “Pudarica”
It is essential to mention the island of Rab, as a forerunner of naturism on the island. People mention August 1936 when Edward VIII, the King of
England was there, and the town authorities had allowed
him to swim in the nude with his wife in Kandarola cove.
But surely naturism started much earlier.
The president of the international naturist union Richard
Erhman from Vienna opened the first naturism beach
on the island personally 1934. Naturism on Rab is also
mentioned in the articles of Joseph Herman from the Czech
Republic in 1907, which proves that the local people had
realized the bright perspective behind such tourism.
The one and a half kilometer of beautiful beach and its
forest background is called “The English beach”.
Romantic swims in the intact Rab’s bay have been the
climax of a cruise that,few months later,
lead to the divorce of Wallis Simpson and
her marriage to King Edward who had to abdicate the
Crown and take the title of The Duke of Windsor.
