Best from May to September, when the water is pleasantly warm around 24 °C and all the stalls and boat rentals are operating. Weekday mornings are quieter than weekend afternoons.

About
Quick facts: Every year, over 300,000 visitors come here to enjoy 7 kilometers of sandy beach along the Danube. In 2017, it received the prestigious Blue Flag award for water cleanliness and ecological approach.
Highlights: At the northern tip of the beach you will discover a concrete bunker from World War II, which locals have turned into an unusual lookout spot with a view of the opposite bank. In the evening, students gather here with candles and guitars, so the atmosphere feels more like a private picnic than a busy beach.
Insider tips
- Instead of the main entrance, head to the southern end of the beach, where there are far fewer people and better access to the water.
- Do not forget to bring water shoes; the bottom is rocky in places and sharp shells surprise many swimmers.
- For photographers, I recommend the sunset from the wooden pier by the swimming club; the orange reflections on the Danube are breathtaking.
- If you come by car, park on Šumska Street for 50 dinars per hour; parking right by the beach is three times more expensive.
