About this place
Saramic Beach sits on the northern tip of Rab island, in the Lopar area — one of the Kvarner Gulf's most established naturist clusters. Lopar has hosted clothing-optional beaches since the 1970s, and Sahara Beach (the official FKK resort strip just to the west) is Croatia's most famous sand beach for naturists. Saramic is a quieter, less formal neighbor: a public FKK cove rather than a ticketed resort. The beach is rocky and backed by scrub, typical of Rab's windward coast. Water is clear and shallow for the first few meters, then drops off over pale stone. You'll share the shore with a handful of regulars — German and Austrian tourists in high season, Croatian families on weekends. No facilities, no services, no sunbeds. Bring everything you need. The appeal is simplicity: natural FKK in a place that doesn't try to be anything more. Access is on foot from Lopar village or via a coastal path linking the Lopar peninsula's string of beaches. Saramic is less sheltered than the south-facing bays, so the bura wind can churn the water and make early and late season swimming brisk. If you want infrastructure, stay on Sahara; if you want a strip of coast where the only amenity is permission to be bare, Saramic delivers.

Who visits
Visitor demographics not well-documented. Likely draws the usual Kvarner mix: German and Austrian Adriatic regulars, a few Italian and Slovenian day-trippers, and Croatian locals who prefer a no-frills FKK spot over the crowded resort beaches. Quieter than neighboring Sahara, so expect older couples and solo walkers rather than families with small children.
How to find it
Lopar village is at the northern tip of Rab island, about 12 km from the Rab town ferry port. From Lopar's main parking area, walk north along the coastal path past Sahara Beach; Saramic is one of the next coves heading toward the cape. No marked signage or dedicated parking. If arriving by car, park in Lopar and walk; it's a 10–15 minute stroll.
Things to watch out for
Rocky bottom — reef shoes recommended. No shade, no facilities, no fresh water. The north-facing exposure means the bura wind can make the sea choppy and the air cooler, especially in shoulder season. Pack out all trash; this is an informal public beach with no maintenance.

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.
