Beaches

Murter is an island of indented shores, countless coves and beaches, surrounded by many smaller islands and islets. Its varied coastline offers something for everyone, from well-equipped beaches with plenty of facilities to quieter bays and unspoilt spots by the sea.

Three nearby beaches are especially convenient for guests of Apartmani Slanica: Slanica, Luke and Podvrške.

Slanica is Murter's best-known beach and a favourite with families thanks to its sandy seabed, shallow water and wide range of facilities. Slanica Beach is just 200 metres from the accommodation, only a few minutes' walk away. Here you can play in the shallows, enjoy a game of picigin or try the water slides. Restaurants, cafés and other amenities nearby make it easy to spend the whole day at the beach.

Luke Beach, about a five-minute walk from the accommodation, is predominantly pebbly, spacious and convenient for everyday swimming. It has showers and toilets, while a shop and a large children's playground are close by. It is a good choice for families and anyone looking for a relaxed day by the sea within easy reach of the town.

Podvrške is known for its pale pebbles, sandy seabed and turquoise water, and is about a 15-minute walk from the accommodation. The main beach is suitable for families with children, while the surrounding shoreline and the nearby Školjić peninsula offer more natural, rocky places to swim and sunbathe in a quieter setting.

Čigrađa, a picturesque cove with a pebble beach, rocky sections and clear water, is also worth visiting, as is Kosirina between Murter and Jezera, which appeals to nature lovers with its pine shade and views towards the Kornati Islands. At Colentum, beside the remains of the ancient settlement at the foot of Gradina, swimming can be combined with discovering the island's archaeological history.

There is parking near each beach, but in the busy summer months we recommend walking to avoid traffic and crowds.

Renting a boat is an excellent option for anyone who wants to explore less accessible stretches of coast. It allows you to discover nearby islets, hidden coves and natural beaches that are difficult to reach on foot, find a quiet spot for a swim and experience the Murter archipelago from a different perspective.

Whether you prefer sandy beaches with facilities, convenient swimming spots close to town, quieter rocky bays or exploring the coastline by boat, Murter offers plenty of ways to enjoy the sea. You can choose a different beach each day and discover a new part of the island at your own pace.
