Kraljičina

Nestled in the beautiful town of Nin in Zadar County, Croatia lies one of the country's most famous sandy beaches - Kraljičina beach (Queen beach). The beach is known for its natural surroundings, beauty, and the legend behind its name. According to the legend, King Tomislav and his Queen used to visit this area and spend their vacation here. The Queen enjoyed spending most of her time on the beach near the mud site, so the King promised her that this heaven on Earth will be hers only. Later, this therapeutic mud site was declared as a health resort.
