About this place
FKK Beach at Camping Škrila sits on Krk, Croatia's largest island, in the quiet fishing village of Stara Baška on the island's southeastern coast. This is Kvarner Gulf territory—Krk's rocky shoreline faces the mainland mountains across calm, sheltered water. The beach is part of the Škrila campsite, which sits tucked into a small bay a few kilometres southeast of Stara Baška centre. Unlike the industrial-scale FKK resorts of Istria (Valalta, Koversada), Škrila is a modest campsite operation, and the naturist section is correspondingly low-key: a pebble-and-rock shoreline with minimal built infrastructure. You won't find café terraces or animation programmes—expect a simple, sun-and-swim experience in a cove sheltered by scrubby Mediterranean hillside. The water is typically calm and clear; the bottom is rocky, so bring water shoes. Krk has hosted naturist visitors since the 1960s, and Stara Baška's remoteness (no through road, steep access) has kept it quieter than the island's busier northern resorts. The village itself is tiny, with a handful of konobas and one narrow paved road switchbacking down from the interior. If you want the Adriatic without the crowds, and don't mind trading resort polish for peace, Škrila delivers.
Visitor notes

Who visits
Visitor mix not well-documented. Likely draws the usual Kvarner naturist demographic—German, Austrian, and Italian campers, plus Croatian weekenders from Rijeka or Zagreb. Stara Baška's isolation discourages tour groups and party crowds, so expect a quieter, self-sufficient crowd willing to rough it a bit. Families and couples more common than solo travellers.
How to find it
Krk is connected to the mainland by the Krk Bridge (no toll). From Rijeka, take the D102 across the bridge, then follow signs toward Baška. Before Baška, turn off toward Stara Baška—the road is narrow, winding, and scenic. Camping Škrila is signposted just outside Stara Baška village. Limited parking; most guests are campers. No public transport to Stara Baška.
Things to watch out for
Rocky bottom—water shoes essential. Road to Stara Baška is steep, narrow, and slow; if you're towing a caravan, take it easy. Bura wind can funnel through Kvarner in winter and shoulder season; summer is calm. Village has minimal services—bring what you need. Camping season typically April to October; outside that window, the site may be closed.

Etiquette & ground rules

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.

FKK Beach Ciganka
FKK Beach Ciganka is a free naturist beach on the Lopar peninsula at the northern tip of Rab island, in the Kvarner Gulf. Rab has a long FKK tradition — the island claims Europe's first organized naturist beach (Kandarola, 1934) and still hosts the well-known Sahara FKK resort in the same bay. Ciganka sits a few kilometers northeast of those established spots, offering a quieter, unmanaged alternative. The beach is backed by low scrub and pine, typical of Lopar's sandy shoreline, though like most Adriatic FKK sites the water entry is still rocky in places. No facilities on-site — you're on your own for shade, water, and waste. The Lopar peninsula draws a steady stream of German, Austrian, and Italian visitors during July and August, plus Croatian families on weekends, so you'll likely share the sand. The appeal here is simplicity: no resort fees, no queues at the beach bar, just a stretch of coast where you can strip off and swim. If you want more infrastructure, Sahara is a short walk away; if you want solitude, you'll need to visit outside peak season or explore further along the rocky headlands to the east.

FKK Jadranovo
FKK Jadranovo is a free naturist beach in the village of Jadranovo, a small coastal settlement tucked between Crikvenica and Novi Vinodolski on the Kvarner Gulf mainland. The Kvarner coast has a long FKK tradition—this stretch saw some of Yugoslavia's earliest recognition of naturist tourism in the 1950s—and Jadranovo sits a few kilometers south of the much larger Bunculuka resort near Krk. Unlike Bunculuka or Valalta, Jadranovo is not a purpose-built naselje; it's a quiet local cove that has served clothed and clothing-optional visitors for decades, with the FKK section typically set off by a natural rock outcrop or informal convention. The beach itself is Adriatic-standard: pebble and concrete platforms, clear water, and a rocky bottom that rewards reef shoes. You won't find beach bars, sun-lounger rental, or organized animation—this is a low-key spot that draws regulars who know the area and want something calmer than the big resorts. On summer weekends expect Croatian families; during July and August you'll see the usual mix of German, Austrian, and Italian visitors who tour the Kvarner circuit. If you're staying in Crikvenica or exploring the coast by car, Jadranovo makes an easy, unpretentious stop—park in the village, walk down to the water, and look for the FKK sign or the crowd of naked bathers.

FKK Plaza Krk
FKK Plaza Krk is a clothing-optional beach on the island of Krk, the largest in the Adriatic and a longtime anchor of Croatia's naturist scene. Krk sits in the Kvarner Gulf, connected to the mainland by a toll bridge, making it one of the most accessible islands on the coast. The island has hosted naturist visitors since the early days of Yugoslav FKK tourism, though FKK Plaza Krk itself is less documented than the region's famous purpose-built resorts like Bunculuka (further south on Krk) or Koversada and Valalta in Istria. This is a public naturist beach rather than a gated naselje — expect a simpler, quieter setup. No resort infrastructure here; you'll find a stretch of rocky shoreline typical of the Kvarner coast, where locals and visitors spread out on concrete platforms or pebble patches. The water is clear and the seabed rocky, so reef shoes are a good idea. The visitor mix likely mirrors Krk's broader FKK demographic: German and Austrian guests passing through the island's campsites, Italian weekenders, and Croatian families who know the island well. It's a low-key spot — if you're looking for sunbeds, beach bars, or organized activities, head to one of the dedicated resorts instead.
