Surrounded by lush pine and olive trees, the beach offers a refreshing oasis where visitors can unwind and rejuvenate amidst nature's beauty.

A wonderful public beach close to the historic Zadar city center. Kolovare beach has earned the blue flag for it's amenities and tidiness of both the beach and the sea itself. The amenities on the beach include multiple bars and restaurants, water obstacle course for children, kayak and paddle boat rental, massages, beach volleyball courts, life guard, showers, changing cabins and toilets. There are plenty trees which provide natural shade. A lot of people visit this beach, but I wouldn't call it overcrowded. You are able to find a spot for your beach blanket and belongings even on busier days. As for the sea, it is quite calm and the water is very clear. It is a pebble beach/sea floor, so I would recommend wearing water shoes, as walking on small pebbles can be a bit annoying for some. However, a lot of people didn't wear anything on their feet and they were fine. At the start, the water is quite shallow, which is perfect for younger children. A bit further, the small pebbles turn into bigger rocks and the water gets deep to the point where you can't reach the seafloor. At this point, sea urchins also start appearing. With swimming goggles, you can observe small fish swimming around, even at the shallower parts. Overall, this beach is perfect for everyone - from families with young children, young people looking for fun and drinks to the elderly looking for relaxation.

Nice beach-like area less than 10 minutes from Zadar's centre with spaces to sit or lie down and access to the sea. I spent most of the time in the area closest the centre near the Kolovare swimming pool, which has no sand and features paved waterfront, access to water by ladders and grassed or wooden boarded areas to relax on. There are no public amenities around, but you can walk about 200m to the nearby restaurant & cafe bar and buy something to drink or eat or use the bathroom. Be cautious, because swimming in this part can be less fun if the sea is not calm as the incoming waves smash into the waterfront's concrete wall. This part was also less crowded and I was always able to find a comfortable place to relax at any time of the day in mid-October (which, btw, is a great time to visit Zadar as there are less tourists and it's still quite warm).

Beach away from the city center. It has a small amusement park on the water, where kids and adults can have fun. There is parking nearby, although it fills up very easily. But there are always places coming up because of the movement in the parking lot. There are bars on the beach overlooking the sea. They rent boats to sail along the beach. At the entrance to the beach there are gentlemen playing chess and checkers. Obviously the beach is not sand, but small stones and coarse sand. If you want to go for a swim in Zadar, I recommend this beach.

Handy place to enjoy the sea if you are staying in the city of Zadar and you don’t have a car to drive to other places The place has public changing rooms, coffee stores, beach volleyball space, an Olympic sea salty water pool, water polo, public showers to rinse the salty water. Some free spaces to set your beach chairs and enjoy the day. Bring your sea shoes the beach is Rocky but like a calm pool. There are some lifeguards. Some places in Kolovare could be cleaner with less broken glass. There is some free parking.

Beautiful ocean which swishes up against a stretch is rock and concrete. The trees are sparse and everyone situates themselves under the limited shade. There is a bar with friendly enough staff. And with the only true shade crowded to take in drinks. People smoke everywhere and the rocks make it seem hotter. But the view is stunning. To get to the water is varied depending on the location. But the view is amazing so there is really nothing better. You can stare for awhile at all the activities.
