About this place
This car park serves the clothing-optional beach at Punta Skala, a resort peninsula just north of Petrčane on the Dalmatian coast, about 12 km northwest of Zadar. Punta Skala is a commercial resort complex — hotel, apartments, marina — and the FKK beach occupies a dedicated cove within the grounds, accessible via a short coastal footpath from this parking area. It's a free beach rather than a gated campsite naturist zone, so you won't find kiosks or lounger rental, but the resort infrastructure (restaurants, supermarket, showers) sits within a ten-minute walk. The beach itself is classic Northern Dalmatian: concrete platforms and pebble patches over clear, shallow water; rocky bottom underfoot. Punta Skala's location inside a resort keeps the crowd orderly and family-friendly, and the visitor mix reflects the wider Zadar naturist scene — mostly Central European regulars (German, Austrian, Czech) during July and August, quieter Croatian weekenders in June and September. If you're staying in Zadar and want a half-day naturist outing without committing to a full campsite fee, this is a practical choice. The headland setting offers some shelter from the prevailing maestral afternoon breeze.

Who visits
Primarily German, Austrian, and Czech couples and families staying at the Punta Skala resort or passing through Zadar. Weekends draw Croatian day-trippers from the city. Age range skews 40+, with children present in summer school holidays. Atmosphere is low-key and unhurried — not a party beach, not a cruise scene.
How to find it
From Zadar, drive northwest on the coastal D8 Magistrala toward Nin. At Petrčane, turn west into the Punta Skala resort complex (signposted). Follow resort roads to the marked FKK parking near the marina. The beach path begins at the southwestern corner of the lot, a five- to ten-minute walk along the shore.
Things to watch out for
Rocky seabed — bring reef shoes or old trainers. The beach is unsupervised and has no lifeguard. Bura wind (cold northeasterly) can make the water choppy in shoulder season; maestral (westerly sea breeze) picks up most summer afternoons. No shade on the platforms; bring an umbrella or arrive early for the few shaded spots under pine scrub.

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.

Bay Bok (FKK Beach)
Bay Bok is a free FKK beach tucked into the southern shore of Pag Island, just outside the small village of Kolan in Zadar County. Pag sits in the northern Dalmatian archipelago, bridged to the mainland and reachable by road from Zadar in about an hour. The island is better known for its lunar, karst landscape and pažki sir (sheep cheese) than for naturist infrastructure, so Bay Bok operates as a quiet, informal clothing-optional cove rather than a managed resort beach. You'll find rocky shore and gravel underfoot — typical Adriatic — with shallow, translucent water that warms nicely by mid-June. The setting is open and sun-baked; Pag's interior scrub offers little shade, so bring an umbrella if you plan to stay all day. The bay attracts a handful of Croatian weekenders and the occasional German or Austrian couple touring the island, but it's never crowded. No kiosk, no sunbeds, no lifeguard — just a stretch of coast where naturism is tolerated and locals have used it that way for years. If you're staying at one of Pag's textile campgrounds (Šimuni, Straško) or visiting Novalja's party beaches, Bay Bok makes a low-key naturist detour on a rest day.

Duboka Draga Beach FKK
Duboka Draga Beach FKK is a clothing-optional cove on the island of Vir, off the northern Dalmatian coast in Zadar County. Vir is a bridge-connected island—no ferry required—making it an easy day-trip or add-on to mainland exploration around Zadar. The beach itself is a quiet, free naturist stretch tucked into a small bay along Vir's western shore. You won't find resort infrastructure here: no gatehouse, no bar, no rows of sunbeds. It's a locals-and-regulars spot, the kind of place that draws people who prefer simplicity and solitude over organized FKK campsite bustle. The seabed is rocky, as is typical along this stretch of Dalmatia, and the water stays clear even in high summer. You'll share the cove with a handful of other naturists—weekends may see a few more Croatian families or older German couples who know the island well. Duboka Draga fits into Croatia's broader FKK tradition as one of many unmarked, low-key naturist coves that have been quietly tolerated for decades. If you're after a half-day of sun and swimming without the fees or crowds of Valalta or Kandarola, this is the template: park nearby, walk a short trail, spread your towel on flat rock or shingle, and swim.

FKK BEACH
FKK Beach sits along the shallow Privlaka peninsula in northern Dalmatia, roughly 25 km south of Zadar. Privlaka itself is a modest fishing village on a narrow strip of land separating the Adriatic from the shallow Vir Sea lagoon; the area is known for kitesurfing, long sandy shallows, and a handful of signed FKK sections that feel more like quiet free beaches than purpose-built resorts. This particular spot occupies a stretch of the Adriatic-facing coast where the shoreline alternates between shallow sand and rocky patches — typical of Privlaka's exposed western side. The tags hint at a multi-use zone: hiking trails run along the coast, and the beach doubles as a launch point for windsports when conditions suit. It's the sort of place where naturists, kitesurfers, and local dog-walkers share space without fuss. Don't expect facilities — no bar, no sunbed rental, no marked camping. Bring shade, drinking water, and reef shoes. The draw here is solitude and unbroken views toward the Zadar archipelago, not amenities or social infrastructure. It fits the mold of Dalmatia's smaller FKK coves: officially tolerated, locally accepted, lightly visited.
