About this place
Beach Ulika FKK lies just south of the village of Črvar, on Istria's west coast roughly halfway between Poreč and Novigrad. It's a free naturist beach — no gate, no fee — set on a low, rocky shoreline typical of this stretch of the Adriatic. The beach sits outside the big FKK resorts (Valalta is 15 km south, Istra and Ulika campsites are nearby) and draws a quieter, more local crowd. Access is informal: you park along the minor road that hugs the coast and pick your way down. The shore is rock slab and concrete platforms with patches of gravel; you'll want reef shoes. Water is shallow for the first few metres, then deepens gradually — good for a long, unhurried swim. There's no shade structure, no bar, no lifeguard. Bring what you need. The appeal is simplicity: a place where Croatian and Italian families spend a Sunday afternoon, a few German and Austrian visitors on weekdays, and nobody fussing. It's not pristine wilderness — the coast road is close, and you'll hear the occasional scooter — but it's calm, unstructured, and genuinely clothing-optional without resort rules or entry protocols. If you're touring Istria's west coast and want a swim between the big centres, Ulika offers exactly that.

Who visits
Visitor mix not well-documented. Expect Croatian locals on weekends, a scattering of Italian day-trippers, and the occasional German or Austrian naturist touring the peninsula. Vibe is low-key and unpoliced — families, couples, and solo visitors all turn up. No formal amenity or staffing means the crowd self-selects for people comfortable with a do-it-yourself beach day.
How to find it
From Poreč, take the coast road (D75) north toward Novigrad; turn west at Červar-Porat toward the sea. The FKK beach is roughly 1 km south of Črvar village, along the narrow coastal lane. Look for informal pull-offs where other cars have parked. No signage, no marked entrance — just walk down to the rocks. The bigger Ulika campsite is nearby; the naturist beach is separate and public.
Things to watch out for
Rocky shore — bring reef shoes. No shade, no facilities, no drinking water. Season runs April through October; outside those months services in Črvar are limited. The coast road is close, so it's never completely secluded. Check weather: the afternoon maestral can kick up chop, and the winter bura makes the rocks slippery and unpleasant.

Etiquette & ground rules
Croatian FKK beaches and naturist sections are clearly signposted — stay within the marked area. Phone cameras are off-limits without explicit consent. The mix between nude and textile bathers shifts by site; respect the local norm you encounter. Pack out all trash; many Adriatic FKK beaches have minimal facilities.

Barbariga FKK beach
Barbariga FKK beach lies on Istria's southwestern shore between Pula and the larger resort towns of Fažana and Banjole. It's a free naturist beach — no gate, no attendant — that has served local and visiting nudists for decades, part of the broader constellation of Istrian clothing-optional spots that dot the rocky coastline below the D66 and smaller coastal roads. The shoreline here is typical Adriatic: flat limestone shelves and smooth stone platforms that slope gently into clear water. You won't find a manicured sunbathing lawn like you would at Valalta or Koversada, but you'll also skip the resort entry fee. Bring a towel or mat; the rock warms up quickly in high summer. The beach draws a quieter crowd than the big FKK camps — mostly regulars who prefer an unstructured day by the water without the infrastructure or animation programme. Trees offer patchy shade along the access path, but the shore itself is wide open. Reef shoes are strongly recommended; the limestone can be sharp underfoot and urchins colonize the shallows. There are no facilities on-site — no shower, no café, no rental chair — so pack everything you need for the day. Peroj village, a kilometre or so inland, has a small shop and café if you need supplies.

FKK Beach
FKK Beach sits on the Istrian peninsula just outside Rabac, a small seaside town that transformed from a fishing village into a modest resort strip in the second half of the 20th century. The beach lies along the Golubijera area, a stretch of rocky coastline south of Rabac's main harbor. Like most Istrian FKK sites, this is a free beach rather than a purpose-built resort — no gates, no reception, no organized sunbed rental. You'll find a naturist-tolerant cove frequented by the usual Adriatic FKK crowd: German and Austrian tourists, a sprinkling of Italians, and Croatian families on summer weekends. The shoreline is typical eastern-Istrian rock and pebble; the water is clean and drops off fairly quickly. Shade is limited, so bring an umbrella if you're staying all day. The atmosphere is low-key and self-sufficient — pack in what you need and pack it out. Rabac itself offers ATMs, groceries, and a handful of restaurants within walking distance, but the beach has no on-site facilities. This is a good option if you're touring the Istrian coast by car and want a clothing-optional stop without committing to a resort stay.

FKK beach Banjole
FKK beach Banjole is a free naturist beach tucked into the low rocky coastline south of Pula, near the small village of Banjole. The Istrian peninsula's southern tip is dotted with dozens of unofficial FKK coves, and this one sits among them—no facilities, no gate, just a quiet stretch of coast favored by locals and seasonal visitors who prefer simpler settings over the region's larger resorts like Valalta or Koversada. The shoreline here is typical Istrian rock platform: flat shelves, some with ladders or cut steps into the sea, others requiring a careful scramble. Water is clean and gradually deepens. The beach itself is informal—people spread towels on the rock, under pine shade where available, or on small pebble patches. You won't find showers, a bar, or marked boundaries; it's the kind of place regulars find by word of mouth or by walking the coastal path. Banjole village is a five-minute drive from Pula and sees summer overflow from the city's beach-goers, so weekends in July and August can draw a mixed crowd, some textile, some not. Respect and common sense sort things out. The setting is peaceful: blue water, cicadas, occasional fishing boats. If you're touring Istria's FKK sites and want a contrast to the manicured resort experience, Banjole offers that quiet, unpolished alternative.
