Beach Kozica, also referred to as the Silent Beach or the 'Wind Tunnel', is a secluded pebble and rocky beach in the town of Vrbnik on the island of Krk, Croatia. This beach is enveloped by lush green pine woodlands and is nestled between two hills, which can make it quite windy on certain days. This wind factor, combined with its east-facing position, means the sun does not shine in the afternoon. However, the surrounding cliffs on both sides lead to calm waters, making it the perfect location for snorkeling and diving activities.
The beach is known for its stunning views of the turquoise blue waters and its crystal clear sea, which allows for the observation of the rocky seabed and fish. Despite its natural beauty, there have been concerns about pollution, with construction material and trash washing ashore. As such, there is a need for efforts to maintain its cleanliness and preserve its natural beauty.
In terms of amenities, Beach Kozica does not have any additional facilities or services, such as restaurants or restrooms. Therefore, visitors are encouraged to bring their own food, drinks, sun protection, and suitable footwear for the pebbled beach. There are comfortable lounge chairs available on the beach for visitors to relax and enjoy the scenic views.
As for accessibility, Beach Kozica can be reached by various means including by boat, bicycle, on foot, or by car. There is a parking lot nearby, with the closest parking spot being just a 5-minute walk away and other parking areas within a 10-minute walk. Visitors can also walk to the beach from the center of Vrbnik, which is approximately a 15-minute walk, or from Zgribnica beach, which is a 10-minute walk. Despite its accessibility, the beach is small and can get crowded easily, so visitors are advised to arrive early.
Visitor reviews highlight the beach's spectacular views and crystal clear waters, with many noting its calmness, making it perfect for snorkeling. The beach's natural beauty and comfortable lounge chairs are also appreciated. However, visitors complain about the beach's cleanliness, citing washed-up construction material and trash as detractors.
