About this place
FKK Beach sits in Sunčana uvala (Sunny Bay) on the southeast coast of Mali Lošinj, one of the Cres-Lošinj island pair in the Kvarner Gulf. Mali Lošinj is a working harbor town and the largest settlement in the Croatian islands, and this stretch of coast is dotted with small hotel bays and pine-shaded promenades. The FKK designation here is a free beach — not a gated resort — so expect an informal, come-as-you-are vibe rather than the regimented layout you'd find at Valalta or Koversada. The Sunčana uvala promenade runs east from the town center, and naturist use is concentrated on a quieter section where the concrete platforms and pebble pockets give way to rockier shoreline. Water is clean and moderately deep close in; the seabed is limestone ledge and rounded stone. Lošinj sits far enough south in the Kvarner to catch the macchia scrub and milder microclimate of northern Dalmatia, so the bay stays green year-round. You'll share the water with sailboats anchored offshore and the occasional kayaker from the town marina. No services on the beach itself — bring what you need and pack it out. The island's ferry connections (Porozina on Cres to the mainland, or catamaran from Rijeka and Zadar) make this a day-trip option if you're touring the Kvarner.

Who visits
Visitor mix isn't well-documented, but likely a blend of German and Austrian sailboat cruisers, Italian weekend visitors from the Trieste coast, and Croatian families from Rijeka or Zagreb. Lošinj isn't a naturist destination like Rab or Krk, so expect a smaller, quieter crowd — regulars who know the spot rather than resort groups. Age and vibe probably skew relaxed and middle-aged, typical for a free Adriatic FKK beach.
How to find it
Mali Lošinj town center is the reference point. Walk or drive east along the Sunčana uvala promenade; the naturist section is past the hotel zone, roughly 1–1.5 km from the main harbor. Look for less-developed shoreline where the path narrows and the crowds thin. Street parking is scarce in summer — consider walking from your accommodation or catching a local minibus if one runs the bay route. Ferry from Valbiska (Krk) to Merag (Cres), then drive south via Osor, or catamaran direct to Mali Lošinj harbor.
Things to watch out for
Rocky entry and limestone ledges — reef shoes are not optional. No shade on the open platforms; bring an umbrella or plan your visit for morning or late afternoon. Bura wind can kick up chop in the bay even in summer. No freshwater, no toilets, no bar — this is a DIY beach. April and October are shoulder season; you may have the place to yourself but services in town will be limited.

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.

FKK Beach - Camping Škrila
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.

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.
