Beach Jadrija — Attraction in Grad Šibenik

The beach was recommended to us as a favourite of the locals. We went in early September thinking it would be worth a day trip, but would have been far better of staying in Sibenik to visit the beautiful Banj beach.

The best thing it has going for it was the ferry - €3.50 return.

Appreciate it's September, so fewer places would be open in terms of cafes etc, but there was only one place to get food on the whole island - a very questionable food truck by the car park, that took one hour for a portion of fries.

The surrounding area of the beach is very dirty, graffitied, run down and filled with junk.

The sea has many sea urchins, though I know this is more common in Croatia (though not a problem at Banj).

Beach Jadrija is a community recreation area that is quite unique in its ambience as it was kept by Sibenik locals as their place of retreat over long period of time passed.

Drinks and food are very affordable as well and summer nights have a specific charm... similar to travelling through a wormhole in time.

It is also very close to Fort St. Nicholas a UNESCO world heritage site just out of the town...
