Banj Beach
The Beach Banj is definitely one of the best beaches directly in the city of Sibenik and the perfect choice if you want to combine sightseeing with sun, beach and sea. You can reach it on foot from the center along the promenade in about 10 minutes. Once you arrive, a wonderful pebble beach awaits you with a relaxed atmosphere and lots of authentic flair. Both holidaymakers and locals like to come here to spend their days by the sea. This is mostly because this beach is never really overcrowded, even in the high season.

Ivan Beach
A beach jewel that should not be missed on any holiday in Sibenik is Plaza Ivan. This bathing bay offers a wonderful light pebble beach directly in front of the hotel Ivan in Amadria Park. The most impressive thing about it is the gorgeous turquoise-blue sea colors, which together with the Mediterranean trees form a fantastic backdrop. The water is not too deep at the edge, so this great beach is also suitable for families with children. If you like, you can rent umbrellas and sunbeds or spread out your towel on the fine pebbles.
The dense trees at the lower end of the beach are also fabulous, providing natural shade. There are no restaurants directly in this bay, but you will find several good restaurants and beach bars not far away along the promenade.
